RESOLUTIONS. 
Whereas. It has pleased our allwise and all-loving Father in his 
infinite goodness and mercy to take from us our friend and com- 
panion, William Eaton McLean, who had endeared himself to his 
fellows by his uprightness of character and purit}- of spirit, and for 
whose ser^'ices in the office of President, the Philadelphian Society 
will always remain profoundly grateful: 

Therefore. Be it resolved. That we do express our heartfelt grief 
in his loss and do offer our sincere sympathy to his bereaved 
family and friends. 

Geo. M. Duff, 
Henry J. van Dyke, III, 
For The Philadelphian Society. 

God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ has called to eternal 
rest and peace his faithful servant and our beloved brother. Bill 
McLean. 

Our hearts are heav}^ with the sense of our loss and bereave- 
ment. Our frailty cannot grasp the purposes of an infinite God. 
But we know that the kingdom of heaven is richer by one pure soul. 

As Christ died for him, so he lived for Christ. In his death we 
have lost a faithful and beloved friend; but in his Hfe we have 
a might}^ inspiration to fight the good fight ; to live as he lived, that 
in the end we may follow where he has gone. 

May the love of God bring such comfort to his stricken family 
as our human love is unable to give. May we be ready, as he 
was ready, to meet our Master face to face, if such instant com- 
mand should come to us.

William Eaton McLi-an 



WILUAM MORTON CLAIR DAGGETTE 

a son of Dr. Alvin St. Clair Daggette, and Mrs. Fannie Flotilla 
(Prescott) Daggette :— Was born at Yohoghany Post Office, West- 
moreland Co., Pennsylvania, February 20, 1886; and died at his 
home 400 South Craig Street, Pittsburg, Pa., on November 26, 
1907, aged 21 years, 9 months and 6 days. 

His parents having moved to Pittsburg, soon after his birth, 
November, 1886, he was therefore raised and received his early 
education in the public, and secondary schools of that city. 

Having graduated from the Bellefield public school, Pittsburg, 
Pa., June 1900, he entered the Shadyside Academy, also in Pitts- 
burg, from which he graduated June 1, 1903. 

He entered the academic department of Princeton University, 
and graduated from that institution, June i, 1907, with the A.B.' 
degree. 

He began the study of law in the office of Rodgers, Blakeley & 
Calvert. 

He entered the Pittsburg Law School Sept. 23rd, 1907, pursuing 
his studies until Oct. 14th of the same year, when his last illness 
overtook him. 

He was of an investigative turn of mind, and early evinced a 
love for study. He read widely from books on history, travels 
and nature studies, observing critically, nature and nature's laws. 
Even in childhood he questioned the why, wherefore, and whereof, 
seeking for the truth at all times. 

At the age of ten years he suggested to the curator of the Pitts- 
burg Carnegie Institute (Mr. Herbert Smith) '^the organization 
of a Natural History Club," for the more careful study and observa- 
tion, that comes from association with others in like pursuit, as well 
as greater opportunities for study. 

The result was the formation of the Andrew Carnegie Naturalists 
Club, of which he was elected, and served as Secretarv and Vice- 
President. 

During the four years following, he made collections in minerals, 
coleoptera and conchology, observing closely characteristics for 
the purpose of classification; the work of which as shown on the 



amateur collections made, was of more than ordinary merit for a boy 
of his years. 

That close observation broadened his field of vision, and enabled 
him to discern between the vital and unimportant, between the hull 
and kernel, thus enabling him at all times, to cast aside the chaff, 
retaining only that which made for the eternal vereties. 

This study led him afield, where first hand he received instruction 
fiom, and communed with nature and nature's God. 

He loved the woods and the water, and became an enthusiastic 
canoeist, the love of which, only became stronger as he grew older. 
This fondness for the canoe led over many Canadian lakes and 
rivers, as well as those of his own state, and especially the waters 
near Princeton, he having covered the principal streams between 
the Delaware Water Gap and Philadelphia, New York and Barnegat 
Light, in his canoe. 

He took an especial interest in canoeing, and the regattas in 
Carnegie Lake; and was able, because of his abihty to paddle 
strong and continuously for a long period, to win several trophies ; 
and at the request of his classmates a memorial has been established 
in his memory, in the shape of a cup, *'To be rowed for annually 
by class four-oared crews," and it is called "The Daggette Trophy." 
He united with the Bellefield Presbyterian Church, of Pittsburg, 
Pa., October 13th, 1901, and continued in active membership 
until his death, taking a leading part in Christian Endeavor and Sab- 
bath School work. 

His faith grew stronger and stronger with increasing years, never 
once being shaken by the vicissitudes of life or of disappointment, 
He rather seemed to grow stronger as trouble assailed him, show- 
ing a loyalty to his profession, as he was ever loyal to his Alma Mater 
and classmates, and all humanity with whom he was brought in 
contact, be they old or young, rich or poor alike ; he was ever ready 
to extend a helping hand. 

He expressed an especial interest in the children, newsboys, and 
others, whose opportunities were limited. 

During his last illness he said to his parents, *'You have done all 
you can for me ! go out into the world and try to make others happy." 

He was not morose; but of a sunny disposition, unassuming, un- 
selfish, and cheerful at all times. 

When his last illness became serious, and he was informed that 




Clair Da(;(;ette 



"his life here was but a span," he looked into the eyes of those 
distressed, — only to read the anguish written there, — ^and smilingly 
remarked, "Cheer up! You must learn to cheer when you are los- 
ing!" 

He later prayed earnestly, "that he might be prepared for the 
work his Heavenly Father had for him to do;" and "whatever the 
work assigned, that he might be able to do it well." 

Even during his suffering he never forgot others, and on several 
occasions, in the hospital, sent flowers to the wards, to cheer those 
who were in like distress. 

In the beginning of his illness, the outlook for his future was very 
bright, and he seemed to have much for which to live ; and he prayed 
for health and strength; but always that "not my will, but thine 
be done." 

Later, he said "he did not desire life, if it was Gods will to take 
him, he had a desire to depart and be with Christ." 

And when it was suggested that nourishment be given to him, he 
made answer, "I do not need it, I am with my God." His mother 
then asked his if he felt that God was near him. To this, he an- 
swered "Yes, He is right by my side." 

A few minutes after which the spark of life had fled: "and the 
spirit had returned unto God who gave it." 



HOWARD CONKUN BASKERVILL 

Born x\pril 13, 1885. 

Died April 20, 1909. 

After a year at Bellevue College, Nebraska, he entered Princeton 
University and the autumn after graduation he arrived at Tabriz, 
Persia. 



Resolutions 

Howard Conklin Baskerville was shot through the heart while lead- 
ing a sortie of Nationalists from the beleaguered cit}' of Tabriz, 
Persia. From the meagre reports accessible two things are evident : 
that he was clear in his convictions as to his duty in a given crisis, and 
that he readily sacrificed his life upon the altar of Right as it was 
given him to see the Right. Convinced that the cause of the so- 
called Persian NationaHsts was right, he espoused that cause, with 
a fearlessness which comes of infinite love and a faith in the unseen 
things which are eternal ; and whether the facts may prove him right 
or wrong from the standpoint of worldly wisdom, we, his Class- 
mates, do hereby memorialize his high courage and consistent 
Christianity, do mourn our loss of a beloved friend and classmate, 
and do extend a heartfelt sympathy to his bereaved family.

This letter was written by Mrs. Wilson to Dr. and Mrs. Basker- 
ville after Howard C. Baskerville's death in Tabriz, Persia. Mrs. 
Wilson is the wife of the missionary at whose house Howard Bas- 
kerville stayed until he openly avowed the cause of the oppressed 
Persians against the Nationalists.

Howard C. Baskf.rville 



Il 



Tabriz, Persia, April 20, 1909. 
My dear Dr. and Mrs. Baskerville : 

You have heard long before this letter reaches you that your dear boy 
has laid down his life. It is almost three weeks since he left us, and he has 
come to see us six times since. The last time was last night, just before 
starting to battle. He told us it was a desperate attempt to open the road 
and get food into this starving city. We had prayer together, Mr. Wilson 
praying only for his protection and commending him to God's care. Mr. 
Baskerville himself prayed only for others, "this city to be relieved," "the 
dear ones of the Mission to be kept in safety, and for peace to be obtained," — 
not a word of himself. In the night a soldier brought a note from him, 
"Dangerous rumor that the Europeans will be attacked to secure immediate 
intervention, don't be on the streets today." The first Sunday after he joined 
the army he came to church and sat in his usual seat, — the second in front — 
and had quite an ovation afterward, the men pressing around him to shake 
hands. That afternoon he came to see us. I begged him not to be reckless, 
saying, "You know you are not your own." "No," he answered, "I am 
Persia's." The name the patriots have adopted for themselves is "Fidace," 
meaning "one devoted;" and when the movement first began, they marched 
through the streets in white, as if in shrouds, devoted to death. He, dear boy, 
has thus devoted himself with them. An attack was planned last Thursday, 
and he came in at ten o'clock, just before starting, quite confident that they 
would take the enemy by surprise and "clear them out." We brought him a 
lunch and he drank milk, laughing at such a drink for a soldier. The ex- 
pedition was futile, because Satter Khan, the General, failed to send cannon. 
They went out and found no cannon, though he had promised it would be 
ready. They telephoned and got replies that he was coming, but waited 
in vain till dawn and marched back. Then he and Mr. Moore felt the cause 
was hopeless with such leaders. Some say Sattar Khan was drunk. He was 
very much ashamed, and gave an excuse that he was afraid of being shot in 
the back by traitors, and didn't care to go out in the night. At any rate, it 
seemed futile to fight after that, as the enemy would be on their guard and 
the city had reached its last day's supply of wheat. Mr. Baskerville and Mr. 
Moore urged them to ask the intervention of the Consuls to get as good 
terms for them as they could from the Shah. Such a telegram was sent 
Saturday to Teheran. Yesterday afternoon (Monday) late, after the plans 
for renewed fighting had been made, in despair of intervention and on account 
of the danger of bread-riots in the city, the answer came that the Embassies 
would try to persuade the Shah to make peace. The leaders still were 
determined to fight, in spite of Mr. Baskerville's and Mr. Moore's advice. 
Mr. Moore said he would go then with them, but not to fight, only as a 
war-correspondent. Mr. Baskerville, although doubtful of the possibility of 
success, said he would lead his men. He had been drilling 150 — "the pick 
of the lot," some of them young noblemen and some of them his pupils. He 
thought they had more spirit than the others, and that the only hope of suc- 
cess was for him to lead them — they would not go without him. "It would 



be dastardly to desert them non?," he thought. The news was brought to us 
early this morning by Khachadoor, one of the boys, who takes care of his 
horse and room, who had risen at four A. M. to go out and see the battle 
and, especially to bring news of Mr. Basker\-ille, as he himself had asked 
him to do yesterday afternoon, saying he might fall, and wished us to know 
at once. The boy came running in, tears streaming down his face, and the 
well-known brown riding-leggings in his hand, which Mr. Baskerville had 
borrowed of Mr. Vauthier. He said they were bringing the wounded to the 
rear, and he did not at first recognize the body, till he saw those l^gings. 
They put him in a house and would not let the boy bring him home, as he 
wished to do. Mr. Dot\', our Consul, at once got a carriage and sent a guard, 
with one sen-ant and the bo}-, to bring the body. He wanted to go himself, 
but we dissuaded him, as the Consul's lives have been threatened. While 
we waited, I wrote the above to you, distracted with the grief and shock. 
They returned verj^ quickly, and the boys rushed to the gate to carrj- him in, 
all of us sobbing and lamenting. We carried him to our room and laid 
him on our own bed, and Mrs. Vanneman and I washed the dear body, with 
the blood staining through his shirts and covering his breast and back. We 
found the bullet hole in front and back, having passed clear through, so 
small, so fatal. It had entered from the back and come out just above 
his heart, cutting a large arter}-. and Dr. \'anneman says causing instant 
death. His face was bruised a little on one side, where he had fallen. We 
dressed him in his black suit, and when all the sad ser\-ice was done, he 
looked beautiful and noble, his firm mouth set in a look of resolution and 
his whole face calm in repose. I printed a kiss on his forehead for his 
mother's sake. A white carnation in his buttonhole, and wreaths of flowers 
are being made. Our children made a cross and crown of the beautiful 
almond blossoms now in bloom. The Governor came at once, expressing 
great sorrow, saying, 'He has written his name in our hearts and in our 
history." The Aniuman (national assembly) sent a letter, saying they wished 
a share in doing him honor, and asked that the funeral be put of! till 
to-morrow. The boys in little groups have come in and gone up stairs 
to our rooms, where we laid him till the coffin is ready. They recalled his 
Christian example, his love of the Church, which he always attended,— 
though he could not understand the service, his love of prayer and the Bible, 
which they say they often found him reading. They are deeply affected— 
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his 
friends." It was a good chance to say to them, "May each of you be as 
ready as he was, when your hour comes," and as I began to say, "we can be 
sure Jesus said to him, 'This day thou shalt be with me in Paradise/ " they 
repeated the verse with me. The merchant, who brought the cloth to cover 
the coffin, said "We know he died for us. He wanted to save these poor, 
starving people." 

I must give you his last message. He came in one Sundav afternoon 
and said there would be fighting during the week, and if anjthing happened 
to him he wanted me to write to his mother, -Tell her I never regretted 
coming to Persia, and in this matter I felt it was my duty." 

10 



Wednesday, ii A. M., April 21st. The funeral procession has just passed, 
and never did foreigner or Christian have such a funeral before this war. 
The service of the Church was beautiful and impressive. Mr. Jessup first 
read and prayed in English, then Mr. Pittman did the same in Turkish. Mr. 
Wilson then spoke on the comfort we found in this bitter bereavement from 
"our brother's faith and character and our sure hope that he had entered 
into glory." The boys sang, "There is a Happy Land" in Turkish, and the 
benediction was pronounced. The coffin, in front of the platform, was cov- 
ered with sixteen exquisite floral wreaths, from the Boys' School, the Girls' 
School, the Armenians, and ourselves. In front sat members of the Anjuman, 
at the right the English, Russian, French, and American Consuls, and all the 
Europeans, at the left the Armenian Bishop. Moslems and Armenians filled 
the church, many standing in the rear, and women and girls in the gallery. 
There was perfect order, and all were most respectful. You cannot realize 
what a marvelous and unprecedented thing this is. In all the history of 
missions in Persia never did one have such honor from all classes. It would 
have pleased Mr. Baskerville to know that Christ was lifted up before that 
multitude as He has never been before in the history of Persia. The testi- 
mony of his truth, purity, piety and faith was one they could corroborate, 
for he had lived right among them these last three weeks. So he witnessed a 
good confession, and being dead yet speaketh. The nobility of his character 
was ascribed to its true source — his Christian faith. 

We slipped out before the crowd and came to the school roof, over- 
looking the street through which the procession passed to the cemetery. 
After a long wait, we saw them, a dense mass of people filling the street. 
The leader was a stern old man on a splendid horse, with drawn sword. 
There was a man with a banner first, then the band playing the Persian 
military funeral march. They stopped at the school-gate for the drum-taps. 
Then came several led horses, the one he rode and others sent by the general. 
Then came the men in uniform he drilled. The coffin was preceded by sixteen 
boys carrying the wreaths. Mr. Jessup and Mr. Wilson were beside it, the 
older school boys carried it, and the Armenians surrounded it, singing mar- 
tial airs. The spectacle was wonderful. I cannot tell how many passed, 
but it showed that the city was deeply stirred. Two carriages with members 
of the Anjuman brought up the rear. How little he, in his reserve and 
modesty, expected such honors and glory so soon ! He counted not his 
life dear unto himself, and these people recognize and appreciate his self- 
sacrifice. To the sneer that these people were not worthy of his sacrifice, we 
can only say : "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." "Nor is a true 
soul ever born for naught; wherever any such hath lived and died, there 
hath been something for true freedom wrought, some bulwark on the evil 
side." 

Let me tell you a little of Mr. Baskerville's life among u^ these nine- 
teen months. He played tennis and taught all the children to ride 
horse-back, taking the girls out in turn, giving them his gentle horse 
and riding himself our more spirited one. He often played with the school 



II 



boys, too, running races and winning their admiration for his "wind." As I 
wrote to his brother, he had a definite plan to see the boys socially, going 
to their homes and having one or two at a time come to his room to drink 
tea. He always tried to have religious conversation, and would tell us 
what -a good talk" he had with this or that one. He felt greatly restricted 
in language, but there are quite a number who can understand English. We 
shall alwaj-s remember his Thanksgiving sermon; it was so patriotic, and he 
closed with, "Breathes there a man with soul so dead, etc" He enjoyed 
Christmas, and remembered us each one and all the children of the Mission 
with gifts. In all his stay he showed a generous and affectionate spirit 
Do not feel that he died among strangers, for we loved him and he loved us. 
In school he was always faithful, prompt and devoted to his work He was 
especially good in mathematics, and kindly taught our girls geometry four 
months. He made a success of a selection from "The Merchant of Venice," 
acted by his highest English class last commencement Only his persistent 
drill got them ready for it 

A very brave ofiicer was shot the same day b}- the enemy, as his head 
just appeared above a parapet, and his funeral at the same time drew a 
crowd; but the women said, "We forget even such a loss in our grief for 
Mr. Baskerville." There was a telegram to the English and Russian consuls, 
in answer to their intervention, that the King gave an armstice of six days 
and permission for provisions to enter the city, while peace negotiations were 
taking place. The English Consul's adjutant went out to the camp to see the 
Kings General, who told him he had no such orders, but he gave an order for 
2,500 pounds of wheat, which a rich man had donated to the citj- to pass. 
News came of this and there was great rejoicing, but the horsemen did not 
allow it to come in. saying they did not acknowledge the General's authority — 
just what Mr. Baskerville wrote in his letter to the Consul. A mob of 100 
women went wailing through the streets to the Anjuman, saying, "We want 
no Anjuman, we want bread.*' A soldier threatened to fire on them and they 
scattered. So the anarchy he feared has begun. The result of the fight in 
which he fell was to push the enemy back a little, and so far delay their 
entrance into the city. Mr. Wilson went to see Sattar Khan yesterday. They 
both wept as they met. He expressed great sorrow and said he had not 
expected the foreign gentlemen to fight, only to drill, and had warned them 
to go slow. Of course, now he wishes to shirk the responsibility, but he 
insisted on the attack, against their judgment, because the lot cast was 
favorable! Perhaps that may account for his failing them the other time, 
for the Persians are verj- superstitious about casting lots. He said the most 
appreciative things, and told them he would put a monument over the grave. 
Mr. Wilson also visited the General at the other side of the city, who said, as 
they all said, that Mr. Baskerville had made a place for himself in their hearts. 
He also seemed to be ashamed, but defended himself, saying Persian war 
was by strateg>- not straight attack We hear that they said to him that 
after the war, he must stay here and they would give him a high position, 
but he had said that he had no other purpose than to return to America, 
continue his studies, and become a minister.

Monday, April 26th. One of our boys, now in the Bank who had trans- 
lated for him at a banquet given by the Armenian soldiers, Easter eve, told 
how he had made a speech of great eloquence there, eliciting enthusiastic ap- 
plause. He began, "I hate war," and described its evils, saying that only 
necessity and a greater good could justify it; in this case, the protection of 
this city and the cause of constitutional liberty, for which he was ready to die. 
He also hoped that religious liberty would come with civil liberty They 
cheered, 'Xong live Baskerville," and drank his health and he sang for them 
one verse of "My country 'tis of Thee." Last week two of the soldiers were 
shot for kidnapping two girls. His purity, his honor (keepirtg his word even 
to his own hurt"), his intrepid bravery, show him to have been "a -ood 
knight, without fear and without reproach." Again and again the boys 
repeat: "We will never forget him." 

Friday, April 30th. This month, that began with his joining the army 
closes with the occupation of the city by the Russians. I have referred to 
the anarchy that threatened. The Russians were specially menaced, and all 
took refuge in the Consulate, building a barricade and having sand bags 
ready. The atrocities in Turkey also made the Consuls apprehensive, so 
they urged the sending of Russian troops to restore order. The generals 
here blustered, but it was all bluff. Yesterday the Russian soldiers entered 
singing as they marched, and were unmolested. Their camp is outside the 
city at the nver, and squads of guards every ten miles keep the road clear

Dear Mrs. Wilson : 

aeatn in the fight. I only write to venture to express my symoathv with 
you and the family, because he was always talking to me in these htL; of 
your kmdness to him, and of how you had always treated fn o„e ! 

your own fam.ly. He gave his life for an ideal 'and if it h^s to be J 

13 



fcssed that bath he and I have had somewhat bitter experience, that the 
L n who were supposed to represent that ideal here m Persia are fre- 
quently unworthy, nevertheless from such a gallant death there must come 
somewhere, and in some way, good. We may hope that many Persians will 
remember it, and that his blood will be the seed of better things. \ou 
probably know that last night's attack was entirely against his advice and 
mine I heard at first that when he was near the enemy his 150 men dwindled 
to five, but I have seen two of the men who were there and they put it at 
nine or ten. None of the rest would come on. He fired the hrst shots 
himself. My fight began at 430 A. M. He seems to have been hit about 
c,o or 6.00 and to have lived some ten or fifteen minutes afterwards. 
Unfortunatelv, he had deliberately left Abdul Spissein behind, as the latter 
had no gun and was unwell. I would like to know whether any of the men 
bv him could speak to him. The news did not reach me till after eight, as 
unfortunately we agreed to lead in two different directions. As regards the 
men, I suffered the same experience. I started in the center of 350, but 
before I got to the enemy, they had dwindled to about twenty-seven. The 
whole attack of S. Kahn began with his ten men and my twenty-seven. I 
have only now (3 P. M.) returned from the fight, or I should have written 
earlier. 'Some supports came up in daylight ; the foreigners and Armenians 
were admirable. We advanced our men till only a garden lay between them 
and Shanngogan, but the supports were few. The guns did not advance; the 
handful of men could not be induced to go into Shanngogan. Considering 
the helpless material with which one has to deal, the result was a foregone 
conclusion, though if only they would have sent us a gun on the right of our 
line, the handful would have got in. I need not tell you what painful 
news it was for me to hear of Mr. Baskerville's fate ; it is easy to imagine 

it 

Yours very sincerely,

TO THE CLASS OF 1907 

Breck asked me to write about our past reunions, but I would 
rather write about the future. Our first three reunions have been 
successful— very successful. Each one of them has broken all other 
attendance records and everybody now admits that we are Prmceton's 
best reunion class, but I am more concerned about the reunions that 
are to come and with the work of keeping "good old oughty-seven ' 
united so that it can always work for the best interests of Prmceton. 
Reunions are only as successful as the class will make them. 
The committee will put up the big tent, clear the decks and have 
everything ready, but it is up to you to strain a point to get back 
on the job. We want you to answer letters when you get them, and 
do it quick. You owe it to the class to cooperate with us as much 
as you can. "DO IT NOW", whenever you get a class commun- 
ication and you will be doing the class a big service. 

Of course you know that we are going to have a reunion every 
year. You know that we are not going to bother about money 
matters, because we expect everybody who can, to pay his assess- 
ment and if he can't and we run short of funds we have a guaran- 
tee fund to take care of it. All we ask in the way of dollars, is 
simply for every fellow to do what he thinks is right. We want 
every oughty-seven man who is within hailing distance to get back 
to Princeton whenever he can. The first chance you have to come 
to another reunion will be in June, 191 1. We are going to have 
a "Big fourth" and it's going to be a dandy. Don't miss it. A 
lot of fellows you want to see will be there. 

And then comes the fifth. If we have broken any records in the 
past, I don't know what you will call our performance in June, 1912. 
Already we are planning to have every oughty-seven man come 
back. There were 418 men on the original roll, and we are going 
to hunt out every one of these 418 men and put it up to him that 
we want to see him in Princeton for the fifth. A flock of camels, 
big brass bands— well, just as many other stunts as anyone can 
think of will be part of the big show, but just red letter the first 
two weeks in June, 1912, on your engagement calendar and start 
to Princeton on the first. We will take care of you as soon as you 
get there. 

Yours for the biggest fifth as ever was, 

THE REUNION COMMITTEE. 

Gordon S. Rentschler, Chairman.

WOODBURY ABBEY 

ac 638 Hamilton Bldg., Portland, Oregon.

Dear Breck: 

Your letter came to me a month ago and I hasten (?) to answer it so 
as not to be put down as one of the delinquent bunch. 

A fellow seems almost an outcast living in this section of the country, 
for he rarely sees any old familiar faces. When he does, however, he is some 
glad, believe me! I have been in Portland a little over a year, having come 
here in October, 1909. Previous to that time I was trying my best to survive 
as an engineer in Idaho, I survived — enough said. From December, 1908, 
till October, 1909, I tried most everything, even to assistant secretary of the 
Boise Commercial Club, but finally decided to try the nearest large city. 

I am here in Portland to stay, I guess — for a while at least. Have 
managed to get in business for myself, and don't have to dodge the rent 
man very often. 

I have seen very few Princetonians, but once in a while one blows in, 
Herb Byram '06 has been here twice this summer, and we have revived old 
scenes to cheer us up. But say, Breck, the best of all was when Barnum 
and Bailey's Circus came to town, and during the street parade I was sur- 
prised to see "Buck" Geyer trying to lose himself in the crowd. Of course, 

21 



I protected him and took him where he wouldn't be found; but he insisted 
he came here on an excursion with a bunch of farmers from Idaho, and 
thereabouts. However, I know it is said that the show hasn't made much of 
a hit since that time. 

Well, Breck, I'll quit now and give you a rest. Hustle along the record, 
for I want to get Max Timmons' address and give him a call for not answer- 
ing my letters. With best wishes to yourself and the class, I am as ever. 

Your classmate. 

Wood Abbey. 

P. S. Of course, you won't print anything of the above which might 
hurt Buck's feelings. He might be packing a gun these days, and I wouldn't 
feel safe. W. A. 



GRENVUXE G. ABERNETHY 

ac 154 Nassau St., New York City. 
b 526 West 113th St., New York City. 

Manager of the New York Office of the Remington-Martin 
Co.. the Raymondville Paper Co., and the Norwood Paper 
Co., manufacturers of newspaper. 
Married: Miss Harriet Smith, June i, 1910, at the Bucking- 
ham Hotel, New York City. 

October 7, 1910. 

My dear Breck : 

I hardly know how to start on facts on my life since June, 1907, not 
because there has been any variety, for I believe I have just gone on as 
anyone ought to. On June 15, 1907, I was doing everything in my power to 
help out the office force at one of our mills at Norwood, X. Y. (early start to 
say the least). I stuck to the job at $10.00 per, working in the mill and office 
until November, 1907, when those higher up called me to the home office, of 
the three mills at Watertown, X. Y. I did a little of everything at the home 
office : kept records, got up statements, made inventories and incidentally 
was made assistant freight agent of our railroad, the X'orwood & St. 
Lawrence R. R., run in connection with the mills. This was at the time 
of the Public Service Commission reports, and I had my hands full. Grad- 
ually more responsibility was put up to me ! I took it, and before I realized 
it was April, 1908, and I was up at our Raymondville mill, in charge of 
the office. There in June, 1908, the X'ew York office had its chance, and 
I was moved down here as manager, and have held the job ever since. 
That's all in business ways! You ask about my private life, etc. I can say 
that everj'thing was O. K. during my bachelor days to June i. 1910. X'o 
sorrow, thank God, and as for my married life, I hardly think it has been 
of long enough duration, as yet, to write any essay on the subject. Only I 



do know that, if I am as happy as I am right now for the rest of my life, 
I have little, if anything, more to ask for from this world. 

Was sorry to miss reunion last June, but you can't blame me. I had too 
good a time. I don't get to Princeton as often as I should, and would like 
to, living as near the "Burg" as I do, but it's because I am working for six 
days every week in the year. 

Sincerely, 

G. G. Abernethy.

Law student. 

Dear Breck: 

You must pardon me for not sending this in sooner; I have been 
on the broad of my back for the last nine weeks with typhoid fever, and 
at present am just able to be about. 

Since graduation the only thing that I have done is read law, I expect 
to be admitted about the first of the year. 

As ever,

Dear Breck: 

An account of my life since leaving Princeton wouldn't hold an audience 
spell-bound, I guess, but I have started out in law, and am at it here in 
Buffalo — any report of big returns will have to be postponed till the next 
letter. 

Morey Bartholomew and I sat next to each other through two years 
of study in the Buffalo Law School, but then we separated, for he built a 
bungalow and got married. 

I started in after graduation in 1909 in the office of Norton, Penney 
& Sears, attorneys for the street railway company here in Buffalo — and now, 
about two or three times a week, I am exhausting myself in an effort to 
convince the judge and jury that the motorman rang the gong and the car 
was going only three miles an hour. 

Our Princeton Club in Buffalo is small, but we have our gatherings

FREDERIC A. ALLING 

a 1 6 Park Place, Newark, N. J. 

c 437 West 59th St., New York City. 

Fourth year medical student in the College of Physicians 
and Surgeons. 

Dear Breck: 

There is very little I can tell about myself since I graduated. I have 
worked as I never would have thought I could, while at Princeton. The 
course is good and hard but so interesting and absorbing that you don't 
mind grinding about seven days and nights a week. But then I have had 
three summer vacations, which is more than the majority get. In all 
probability I will get my M.D. next spring, and if I am good enough, a 
hospital appointment. It's great to study medicine : you get out of college 
and think you are "it," then you start as a measly first year medical student, 
finally you get out of the fourth year class, into a hospital, and when you 
get out of that, no one would let you touch them with a ten-foot pole, 
as you are a "young doctor." Great! It's a get-rich-quick scheme.

a Fairview Village, Montg. Co., Pa.

Lawyer. 

Have been studying law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School

an office in Norristown during the summer. Graduated in June 15, 1910, 
with degree of LL.B. Took the State Board exams in Pennsylvania, July 6 
and 7, 1910. Passed and was admitted on September 29, 1910, to practice law 
in Philadelphia and Montgomery counties, and have been doing work along 
that line since then in both counties. A student of law has no time for private 
affairs sufficiently interesting or great enough for the Class Record.

Asst. to Mgr. of the soda ash dept. of the Solway Process Co. 

Dear "Breck" : 

Your chaser, in the form of a postal, arrived a few days since, and 
I have been spurred on to make my little speech. I have delayed in hopes 
that in the meantime I might have some real information, such as getting 
married or engaged, but I have waited in vain. Still I will not despair simply 
because I believe it does no good. In September, 1907, I went to work for 
the Solvay Process Co., as a chemist in their large laboratory, remaining 
there until April i, 1908, doing general analysis work and representing the 
laboratory on various tests in the works. I was then given a chance to get 
into the operating end of the business, and was appointed assistant to the 
manager of the soda ash department. This is the largest department of the 
works, and its duty is to make soda ash, or sodium carbonate. The normal 
day's production is about 700 tons, and plans are being made to increase this 
to 1,000. The manager has one assistant manager and three assistants to 
the manager to help him. The assistant manager has charge of actually 
making the soda, while the three assistants look after details in operation, 

26 



i 



\ 



such as operation of the lime kilns, boiler houses, ammonia recovery, actual 
precipitation of soda filtering and drying. So you see there is plenty to do. 

I have been studying the engineering end since I went to work for the 
company, so I am now a poor chemical engineer (without a degree), but may 
improve in time. 

No, Breck, I am not married yet, but I heard a short time ago that 
Bill Bangs was, so I think there is a ray of hope. If anyone mentioned 
wife to Bill, he would start for the Canadian woods, to be gone an indefinite 
period. Hal Tenney is living here now with his wife and baby girl. He is 
secretary of the Syracuse Trust Co., and doing very well. There are very 
few naughty seven students in this part of the country, and I get hungry for 
a sight of one. 

Well, Breck, that you may not curse me out any longer for holding up 
the Class Record, which may even now have gone to press, for all I know, I 
will close, with best regards, from 

Sincerely your old classmate, 

H. H. Barnes. 

DUDLEY H. BARROWS 

a 739 W. 8th St., Plainfield, N. J. 
b 297 Henry St., Brooklyn, N .Y. 
c 31 Nassau St., N. Y. City. 

Managing clerk with the law firm of Eidlitz & Hulse. 

October 31, 1910. 
My life for the last year has been a very busy one ; officially studying law, 
I have actually been engaged in discovering the familiar faces of my friends 
behind the effective disguises with which they have adorned themselves. The 
conservation of our forests is a living issue, which is being heartily endorsed 
by an ever increasing majority of the studes. Be the prospect oi a good 
stand of timber ever so slight, many the brave follower of the Ki^use of 
Pinchot, who doesn't shave for three weeks, and then. with tears in his eyes, 
begs his friends to scrutinize his upper lip closely, if perchance he may-.njot 
see a misplaced eyebrow there. The difficulty of classification of the genus 
mustachio is simplified by the similarity of taste, the neat, but not gaudy, pre- 
dominating. If Breck doesn't publish this, it'll be because he is a stand- 
patter and smoothfacer, and not one of the glorious progressives. 

Yours hirsutely, 

Dudley Barrows. 



WALTER LORING BARROWS 

a 62 Maple Ave., Greenwich, Conn. 
b c 22 Jarvis Hall, Trinity College, Hartford, Conn. 

In charge of the Dept. of Geology of Trinity College. 



Dear Classmates, 

The year after my graduation was spent in teaching and study at 
Princeton, with Benny Bunn as a roommate, and the two succeeding years 
in the study of geology and related subjects at Columbia University. My 
summers have been spent in various parts of the country, one in Wyoming 
with a 500-mile horse back trip through Yellowstone Park and Forest Re- 
serve as a feature, another in geological work in Canada, and the last in 
geological investigation for a mining company in Idaho. I am at present 
settling down to a winter's work in teaching at Trinity College in Hart- 
ford, Conn., and as my rooms are situated in the college dormitory in the 
midst of the student body, I feel that I am quite renewing my youth once 
more. I am enjoying my work thoroughly, and am in the best of health. 

Long life and prosperity to all of you. 

Your classmate, 

Walter Loring Barrows. 



MOREY BUTLER BARTHOLOMEW 

ac 1 106 Prudential Bldg., Buffalo, N. Y. 
h West Falls, N. Y. 

Junior member of the firm of Bartholomew & Bartholomew, 

attorneys at law. 
Married: Miss Ethel M. Holmes, June 25, 1910, at West 
Falls, N. Y. 

Dear Classmates, 

The next day after arriving in Buffalo from Princeton June 19, 1907, 
I began my clerkship in the law office of Bartholomew & Bartholomew, spend- 
ing my time that summer serving papers and doing the numerous odd jobs 
that fall in the path of a law clerk. In September my real law work began 
on entering the law department of the University of Buffalo, Albro and 
myself comprising the Princeton delegation. In January, 1909, having com- 
pleted my clerkship, I made a try at the State Bar exams. By some mistake 
or other the "Powers that Be" saw fit to accept my qualifications and on 
March 2nd of that year I was sworn in as an attorney and counsellor at 
law. A place was made for me in the family lawshop, which is now run by 
my brother, A. G., '01, and myself. In June, 1909, I completed my course 
at the University and received the degree of LL.B. 

During the latter part of my law course, becoming interested in Domestic 
relations and having decided to specialize in it, I conceived the idea of 
purchasing a suburban home; the deal was consummated and a bungalow 
was planned on the hillside among the trees at West Falls, a small town 
a half hour's ride out of Buffalo. In due course of time the bungalow was 
completed; occupants were needed, and on June 25, 1910, I took unto myself 

28 



a wife. My time is now spent at West Falls save for that portion taken up 
at the office in Buffalo. 

If any '07 student happens around this way, don't fail to ring me up. 

Sincerely, 
"Bart."

ALBERT DANIEL BEERS 

a h 734 Watchung Ave., Plainfield, N. J. 
c 55 Wall St., New York City. 

Chief statistican to the New Jersey Zinc Co. 

Dear Breck, 

I can't say that my life since graduation has been so eventful that it can 
furnish much food for an autobiography. I have managed to scrape together 
three meals a day most of the time and that is about all as far as business 
is concerned. As for the fair sex — I am still single and consequently of 
course happy. 

In tennis I have at last reached the height of my ambition and have 
actually won a tournament. I haven't yet gained the point where I can 
get such write-ups as our old friend Rich received in the last issue of Ameri- 
can Lawn Tennis, which says, in speaking of the WashingJton State cham- 
pionship : "The playing of Rev. Leslie K. Richardson, pastor of the York 
Presbyterian Church, was one of the features of the tournament." The 
same article also refers to him as "a great player in college", the "Seattle 
pastor-athlete," and I should judge from the description of his game that 
Larned will have to look to his laurels in case of an invasion from the 
northwest. 

Although still in the dub class I managed to annex the championship 
of the Plainfield Country Club in 1909 and the championship of Plainfield in 
1909 and 1910 and am now strongly thinking of retiring on my laurels. 

Yours, 
Bert Beers.

Asst. to City Editor of The Jersey Journal. 
Dear Breck, 

Some time ago I had a postal in your accustomed vigorous style telling 
me that I have certain obligations in regard to the class record to fulfill. 
Later a letter came from Gus Wuerth repeating the assertion. Both com- 
munications contained a hint of delinquency on my part in the matter of 
filling out some sort of document that had been previously forwarded me. 
Believe me the accusation is false. Those papers never came. 

I conclude that the documents were in the form of blanks to be filled 
out, relating my course of conduct since we mutually received those testi- 
monials of character and initellectuality back in June, 1907. Since this will 
apparently be my sole opportunity of getting into print in the autobiograph- 
ical or Bosworthian form either, I hasten, dilatorily as you will say, to set 
forth the "History of My Life", in one short chapter. A chapter will be 
sufficient. 

First of all I am laboring for a living as I understand so are many 
others of us. 

As to my status in the matrimonial market I may say that I am not 
married. Further than that I must decline to commit myself. 

I am, and have been for the past two years, with the Jersey City Journal 
where I am at present serving in the capacity, or as I am reminded fre- 
quently, the incapacity, of assistant to the City Editor. 

My general health is g'uaranteed under the Pure Food Laws of 1910 and 
my conduct to date has been exemplary. 

Just at this writing my collegiate soul is seeped with sorrow over the 
last and greatest catastrophe which I witnessed with the customary pangs. 
I refer to Nov. 12 and need say no more. 

I shall be sorry if this communication does not refer to the topics you 
desired to be enlightened of. I shall be more regretful if it in any way 
acts as a pebble in the path of progress of the bar of Maryland of which 
the public prints inform us you are such a luminary. And may the Class 
Record flourish in all its pristine youth and vigor, like the green bay tree. 

I am, ito yourself and to any other classmates whose eyes this may 
chance to meet. 

Very sincerely, 

George A. Brakeley.

Simple Studes, 

Like most of you, since graduation I have been endeavoring to get started 
in life. Three years have been spent in medieval Theological Princeton, made 
exciting indeed, by the anti and pro-Woodrow effervescence. Now that he is 
Governor of New Jersey, of course we understand all about it 

Since ^aduation from Princeton Seminary in May, 1910, have been in 
this city, made famous by two men, George Washington and Theodore 
Roosevelt, acting as assistant pastor to one of the trustees of our Uni- 
versity, Rev. Dr. Charles Wood, The Church of the Covenant, where I 
should be glad to welcome any of the class. 

Wishing for you all the very best in every way, always, 

Cordially yours in Old Nassau,

Dear Breck, 

Immediately after leaving college I was associated for six months with 
Dennison & Sons, bank stationers, New York, where I gained some valuable 
business knowledge. My younger brother was at this time pursuing a 
medical education at the Long Island College Hospital and paying his own 
expenses out of the proceeds of a business run under the name of C. \Vi. 
Brownell & Co. doing largely a jobbing business. The spring of 1908 
showed a very heavy increase in sales and g'eneral outlook so that I decided 
to take a chance with the proposition myself. This last spring we formed

THE C. W. BROWXELL COMPANY with a capital of $20,000 in which I 
hold the office noted above. We are a young concern but we are making 
good progress in our line. We are no longer jobbers but gather our own 
supplies and employ about thirty men. Our specialty is Osmunda Fibre, a 
peculiar form.ation of fern roots used exclusively for the growing of 
orchids. We are represented in England by one of the oldest and best 
known houses and are at present negotiating with several well known 
European firms who are anxious to represent us there. 

We have built up our business from a very small beginning which has 
left little time for social or other pleasures which possibly accounts for 
the fact that I have not been able to help the class out by getting married 
before now. 

With best wishes for the success of the triennial record, I am, 

Very truly yours,

The best thing I have done since leaving college has been matrimony, as

At first I was in the dredging business doing! my best to dig the bottom 
out of the Potomac River, but have given it up as a bad job, and am now in 
the electric sign business and feel as though I shall accomplish more, as 
there are great possibilities, such as lighting the way for some of the 
"studes" in '07 to find their way home. You know whom I mean ! 

Please treat the above as a literary spasm. Here's to good old-07-Bumper !

Dear Breck, 

I am sorry to have kept you waiting for this letter but things have been 
so unsettled with me that I could not have given you any information about 
myself until now. I have just moved from the Gait House and my home 
address is 65 Weissinger-Gaulbert. 

After graduating I went to Boston Tech. for a term and then for the 
rest of the year back to Princeton. But Instructor Bill Schumaker would 
not let me study. I saw how low the teaching profession had fallen and 
decided it was my duty to uphft the same, so I taught math for two years 
at the Louisville Male High School. Since last June I have lived (?) off my 
income until this month I am now with the Kentucky Title Savings Bank, but 
expect to get out in the near future and join the automobile game before 
the first of the year. 

My life has been very uninteresting and must make dull reading so I 
won't take up any more space. 

No, I am not married or even engaged and you might also add, no 
children. 

Luck to you and the class, I am, 

Sincerely yours,

Dear Breck, 

Soon after my departure from Princeton, I took up my present em- 
ployment and I have been following the latter up to date, with more or less 
success. Most of the interval has been spent in the South, mainly, in Atlanta, 
Ga. Very few 1907 men crossed my path, although, I was fortunate enough 
to spend some time with Jim Gittings in North Carolina and paid several 
visits to Fats Lewman and Allen Bond, while passing through Kentucky. 

The South is developing very rapidly, and it is unfortunate that Prince- 
ton is not getting from that section, the representation which she formerly 
received. 

The 1907 men in Chicago manage to come together every so often, and 
the meetings have been uniformly successful. I have been back to Princeton 
twice since graduation and am looking forward to 1912. "Dutch" Crammer

It is with pleasure that I am dropping a line to the class of '07 from 
Tiger Town, For the last two years my work in the electrical eng|ineering 
department has given me the pleasure of remaining in Princeton, attending 
football games as well as daily practice; and enjoying once more a base- 
ball championship bonfire. There are some drawbacks nevertheless; no '07 
faces, except Gus Brown and Hip Herring or his honor Bunn, to cheer 
the old Grad, still at his studies, but when Yale game time comes and the 
cohorts of Old Nassau assemble, believe me, there are more '07 men to 
the square inch than any other class. 

And as a final reminder, remember that Joe lives in God's Country, alias 
San Antonio, Texas and that the latch string is always out to '07.

of '07. Now the students will point you out as "one of our old grads." Of 
course, this is all very respectful but at the same time it is apt to make 
you feel a little ancient. I suggest that something be done which will make 
it clear to the undergraduate mind that the '07 students are not the ordinary 
"old grad" but rather a higher type of animal. Maybe some of our deep 
thinkers, Dug Halstead or Spike Steele, to the fore, can ofifer a scheme 
which will cure this defect in our present university life. 

During the past three years it has been my good fortune to visit the 
old burg several times. If there are any who have not been there since 
they graduated, I want to warn them, the changes and innovations are 
countless so be careful. 

Trusting that we may all be together this June.

Dear Breck, 

Following your urgent appeal to hasten to comply with your request 
for information I sincerely wish I could make it as interesting as it must 
be brief. 

In October following graduation, having secured a position in Wall 
St., I joined the ranks of the commuters and started my business career, 
and, except for one change made about a week later, have continued since 
then with the firm I now represent. I like the business very much. Since 
graduation nothing of an exciting nature has happened in my case. I have 
not yet been thrown out of an automobile, nor ridden in an aeroplane, nor 
am I even thinking of getting engaged. To be accurate, however, I have lost 
one appendix. I am glad to say that I have been able to keep in touch 
with the students in this locality and have so far been enabled to get away 
from business for all the big occasions. Time passes very happily, and only 
too rapidly. This, I believe, completes my history to date. 

With kind regards, 

Philip F. Chew.

On leaving Princeton in June, 1906, I went to Denver, Colo, to take a 
position in an electric garage, where I remained until that September, 
going to Los Angeles, Calif. I held down various "jobs" for short intervals 
until July 1907, when I left for my old home at Englewood, N. J. I 
started with a banking house in Wall St. in September 1907 and remained 
in that neighborhood until October 1909, when I left for Pasadena, Calif. 

In February, 1910, I became interested in citrus culture here in Riverside, 
Calif., where I moved in that month and have been here ever since — barring 
a few minutes sojourn in Pasadena in the month of June, for reasons already 
on lecord.

Dear Breck, 

Being in rather poor health at the time we were leaving Princeton, I 
decided to act upon my doctor's advice and "rough it" in the West for a 
year before settling down to the strenuous quest for fame and fortune here 
in the East. So, as soon as the diploma was once safely in my grasp — and 
those who took "Weary's" Social Theory may recollect that my parchment 
was not secured without considerable pain and anxiety — I went directly to 
White Sulphur Springs, Montana, where I had already arranged for a 
job on a big cattle ranch. Now if there are any who imagine that work on 
a modern ranch is a big sweet dream of riding spirited horses over the 
plains, of "chaps" and wide hats and all the other story book features, 
it will give me a great deal of pleasure to disillusion them. In Montana 
at least, the cattle are nearly all under fence and my first job was with a 
shovel and crowbar digging post holes for a barbed wire fence. From 
that I went to the business end of a hay fork, and so on through the sum- 
mer and fall. It was hard at first, but the air out there soon puts a man 
on his feet and it was not long before I felt as though I could clean up 
the whole Yale football team single-handed. 

About December ist, of that year I migrated to Bellingham, Washing- 
ton, where Alfred Black '06 and his father, also a Princeton man, gave me 
a warm welcome. I stopped off in Helena long enough to have a fine little 
reunion with Sheriff Neil. The Sheriff says he doesn't intend to leave 
Helena until he is driven out, and small wonder for I am told that he's 
a regular "man about town" and that the girls are just crazy about him. 

After spending the winter in the Puget Sound country, I returned for 
another summer on the ranch and in the Fall of 1908 arrived in New 
York. After a month's bickering, which reminded me of nothing so much 
as a session with the absence committee, I succeeded in obtaining a position 
with my present employer, as chief sealer of letters and paster of stamps. 
At the present time I am working in the schedule department and endeavor- 
ing to learn the underwriting business. 

Now, my dear sir, you have a complete history of my life from the 

40 



j 



days "on the steps" until the present. Before closing I want to express my 
gratitude to you for your efforts in keeping the class together, and I feel 
sure that they are appreciated by every man in the class. 

Yours in 1907, 

Sidney T. Coale.

Chelan, Wash., November 20, 1910. 

Dear Breck, 

This note has been a long time coming, but better late than never (I 
hope at least). 

After graduating from college, I spent a little more than a year work- 
ing as a clerk in the Liberty National Bank, N. Y. It was splendid work, 
and I got experience which was well worth the while. It was valuable 
to me because my training at college had been along entirely different lines. 

I began to realize however after a tim.e that there were bigger oppor- 
tunities out West. A liking for the woods (literally not figuratively) led 
me to choose the new profession of Forestry. I chose the Yale Forestry 
School as the best school of its kind in the country and attended the 
summer school at Milford, Pa., continuing the course at New Haven, and 
got my degree this Spring. 

Early this Spring the whole class packed bag and baggage, and took 
the train for Clarks, Louisiana. The experience was one of the most edu- 
cating I ever had. Yes, really, no joking. Wald hogs, ticks, jiggers, im- 
mense tall pines without crook or catface, a sawmill that was a city in 
itself, and life in the sunny Southland. We had a fine class, fine work, a 
fine time, fine everything. Take it from me, it was worth while. We 
made an accurate map of an area 120 miles square, estimated all the 
timber on the same thoroughly and correctly besides making a presentable 
study of the growth of yellow pine (in this case shortleaf), and learning to 
run sawmills. 

I passed the Civil Service exam, and began work on the National 
Forests early this summer as a Forest assistant. I was in the field the 
entire summer, making timber estimates and fighting fire. There is still an 
abundance of all kinds of big game in this region, goat, bear, deer, etc., etc. I 
guess I had better begin to abridge right here. 

I notice that more than one-half of the statistical sheet is devoted 
to the very simple "heads" of "marriage", "children". They look simple 
enough on the sheet, Oh yes ! but they're darned intricate to me — so far, 
at any rate. 

Your classmate, 

Hamilton Coan.

Dear Classmates, 

Like many of the fellows who graduated from Princeton, three years 
ago, I am only beginning my life in the "wide, wide world", in fact, I 
have been out of academic life for such a short time, that I hardly know 
how the world outside the halls of learning agrees with me. But, of one 
thing, I am sure, if there is any success coming my way, it will be largely 
due to my training at Princeton — not only by the professors but also at the 
hands of my classmates. 

My first experience as a pastor is being given to me by a church in a 
little ]\Iontana town. The Westerners will know what that means, the 
Easterners can only guess. Democracy is one of the prominent virtues of 
this place, — not always such Democracy as the next governor of New Jersey 
would advocate — but still a social and economic "sense of equality," which 
makes the minister glad that he was educated in a university where the 
snob is abhorred. 

To this little town, I brought my bride of a month and we are together 
trying to do something to help somebody to live better. 

Besides the usual duties of a minister, it has been my good fortune to 
be chosen "official referee" for a couple of hotly contested football games 
played in this place. Imagine how I had to "'"'pole up" on the rule book! 
But there are not such a great number of people here who have seen a 
Princeton team play. 

Football, automobile races and airships are fast displacing the bucking 
broncho as means of diversion in this great state. But there is still lots of 
room out here. I am dreaming of a Princeton Club of Montana, which 
shall give to those of us now in this state, and those about to come the 
chance to get together and sing "Old Nassau" and give a "locomotive" now 
and then. 

Yours, 

"Nick" Condit.

Dear Classmates, 

Since graduation from Princeton mine continued to be the student's life 
till now. Three years came and went while I strove valiantly to become a 
lawyer and now my efforts have borne fruit for I have safely passed the 
scrutinizing glance of the State Board and have sworn fearfully before the 
stern arbitrers of the law of the land to uphold the latter and am now very 
busy indeed — waiting for clients. 

My life since I left Princeton has been comparatively uneventful, as a 
student's life usually is, especially when he does not stay in the dormitories 
but lives at home as I have done. 

As the statistics show I am now situated in a law office in Philadelphia 
and must look to the future for things to happen which might be interesting 
to read. 

Here's best wishes to '07 and every fellow in it. 

Yours sincerely, 

Samuel D. Conver.

Dear Breck, 

I wish to apologize for the trouble that I have caused you on account 
of my negligence in getting this off and realize that I personally will suffer 
perhaps by losing my place in the book. 

Ever since the year one in our calculating or as the common people 
say 1907 I have been engaged in the study of law at Columbia from which I 
graduated last June. In January of last year I took and passed the Bar 
Exam, for New York State, and a lot of good it has done me for now I 
am a sort of dignified office boy in the firm mentioned on the preceding 
page getting little pay and some experience and forgetting all the theory of 
law that I ever knew. If I could only grow whiskers and have them turn 
gray I might bunco the boss into giving me enough pay to buy stamps 
but as it is you see I have brought to life the eld stamped envelope that you 
sent me such a long, long time ago. 

With the best of wishes both to yourself and your book I remain, 

Very respectfully yours,

The old saying that runs: "There is a limit to our achievements, but

since leaving Princeton, my attempts have been quite numerous, but I 
haven't seen anything of the achievement as yet. 

Upon graduation I decided that a mechanical training was in order, 
so got the job of "special apprentice" with the American Locomotive Co., 
in one of their Paterson works. Things went along smoothly during the 
fall, winter, and spring, and with the assistance of Howard Horn, and a 
few hundred men, we managed to turn out quite a few locomotives. Late in 
the spring I got in a little mess with a boiler-punch, but nature, with a 
little assistance, and six or eight weeks delay, had things in running order 
again. 

The panic of 1908 hit us pretty hard, and by spring of the next year, the 
plant was closed down. Banking looked good to me, and I spent the summer 
in one of the banks here, trying to learn something about the business. In 
the fall of 1909 I had the opportunity to enlist in the mining machinery 
business, and for the last year have been with the Harding Mill Co., at 37 
Wall St., N. Y. The story of the commuters life is, I am sure, of no interest 
to anyone, so will close with best wishes to all. 

Sincerely yours,

Dear Breck, 

Contrary to Jim Martin's idea that I am serving a life sentence in the 
penitentiary, I am in the crushed stone business out of pleasure and not of 
necessity, except that of satisfying extravagant ideas gained while at 
college. In explanation of the term or rather title used for stating my 
position, will say for those who are not familiar with "The Mikado" that 
it is a polite name for "goat." 

It would be rather a monotonous tale telling what has happened in the 

44 



last three years. Contrary to the example set by so many, until wedding 
invitations have turned me into almost a pauper, I am still leading a 
bachelor's life but in time hope to get back at my friends. The pleasure 
side has been rather full in spite of the name of the tov^^n, though with 
Nazareth and Egypt so close by the surroundings tend to have more or less 
a quieting influence. Sorrow, I am fortunate enough to be able to say, has 
not come as yet to me personally except in sympathizing with that of my 
friends, some of whom seem to have had more than their full share. 

In business perhaps one of the greatest trials is that cigars and drinks 
look so badly on an expense account. Otherwise things are going splendidly. 

I am sorry not to be able to give you a list of descendants who in time 
might be able to swell the numbers of entering classes at Princeton, though 
to offset that is the advantage of not being prohibited from attending re- 
unions and distributing Cannon Exercises in company with others too 
numerous to mention. 

Hoping! that the fourth annual Reunion will be fully as much of a suc- 
cess as the third, I am 

Sincerely yours, 

R. B. Cook.

My Dear Mr. Secy., 

There is nothing about my affairs v.'hich the class would care to know, 
except perhaps that I started to work right after June 1907 and have been 
trying to hold on ever since. I think I still have as great, if not greater, 
desire to "make good" as when Dr. Wilson handed out the "Dip." There 
is almost as great a fascination in working as there was in college minus the 
associations. 

Yours very sincerely,

My Dear "Breck," 

Forgive me for my carelessness in overlooking this but really there 
is very little for me to write about. 

As you know, I have been studying law up at Harvard for the last 
three years. During all this time I journeyed to Princeton just twice and 
not once have I been able to get back to any of the Reunions. The cause of 
this was, of course, the annual exams, at Cambridge. 

Altho I have had most pleasant company in my misery the consequence 
is I have lost track of a great majority of my classmates I am, therefore, 
looking forward to the publication of this Record with great pleasure. 

As to the personal side of my life I haven't much to say. I am neither 
married nor engaged nor, sad to relate, have I any immediate prospects. 
I am glad however, to see that the class of 1907, as a whole, has not been 
especially backward in this respect. 

Wishing them the greatest joy and you the greatest success in your 
present endeavor. 

I am. Sincerely yours, 

B. Warren Cockran.

Dear Fellow Classmates, 

Greetings from the Pacific Coast! 

To those who were at the Reunion let me say it was worth while 
crossing the country for, to get to look into your faces again. To those 
who weren't there let me say, let's all get there next time, if we have to 
bust all long-distance records. 

Just a word about my life since June 1907. That fall found me enter- 
ing Auburn Theological Seminary, Auburn, N. Y. Oughty-seven sent four 
men there that year. The following summer I dropped into Da)rton, 
Ohio, Bob Landis' home, liked the place and stuck, securing a position in 
the Young Men's Christian Association. I rose to the position of Mem- 
bership Secretary here, but resigned in September 1909, in order to com- 
plete my theological training. At this writing I am a member of the Senior 
Class of the San Francisco Theological Seminary, at San Anselmo, Calif. 
My plans following graduation are still unsettled. 

All hail to Alma Mater, and to 1907, her best class. 

Your Princeton brother, 

LowRiE D. Cory.

November 28, 19 10. 

Dear Breck, 

A postcard from Abe Fowler informs mie of the approaching time for 
publication of our Class Record. I have had it in mind to write to you 
but was uncertain of the address, so failed to follow up the inclination. 

Doubtless all you can make use of is a simple tabulated statement of 
the happenings of the past year or so which I append herewith. 

Came to Arizona from Princeton in July 1909 via Portland, Ore., 
'Frisco and Los Angeles. My parents live in Globe, just ten miles from 
where I am now located — ^making it quite convenient for me to run home 
for Sundays. I was fortunate enough to secure a position as chief engi- 
neer of the Miami Townsite Co. only three days after I arrived. As Strat 
would say this was not a very "ludicrous" position as the highsounding 
title was designed to pad the salary. After eight months of interesting 
experience in a typical mining camp, which grew under my hand — as it 
were, I resigned to become Assistant Engineer on Construction for the 
Miami Copper Co., who are erecting a million dollar concentrator to treat 
their ore. 

Chances seem good and I am prospering. This section is full of 
colleg^e men, most of them intent upon roughing it for the sake of the 
experience. 

It is still a stiff pull to keep from having a homesick chill for the old 
haunts along about reunion timies. 

Yours for auld lang syne, 

W. E. Cory '07.

I spent a year in teaching after June 1907. Then I hied me to Edinburgh 
University where I finished up my work for a D. Sc. — but I've never paid 
the fee for the degree and so it has not yet been granted. Last Xmas I 
took to painting seriously but the exegencies of fate and of my pocket 
book sent me home in August of this year. At present my brother (ex '12) 
and I are trying to raise apples and live the simple life. I expect in a 
few years to be able to go back to studio life in either Edenburgh or 
London.

Dear Breck, 

Just what you want to know about me since graduation I do not know. 
As there are no little "Dutchies" or LL.D's to tell of I am forced to my 
nomadic experience in the Southwest. The sheep business of the terri- 
tories seemed to promise rich returns. In New Mexico and Arizona 
Dutch worked in different capacities on different sheep ranches for a 
year and a half. During which time he acquired some knowledge of sheep 
a speaking acquaintance with the Mexican language and plenty of good 
health. The territories began to seem prosaic after a time so off he 
went to see the beautiful flowers of Southern California. Then the un- 
developed resources of the west coast of Mexico called him. Ah! those 
tropics. They are much like their characteristic cocoanut palms on the 
distant lowlying shore beautiful, graceful, romantic but on closer view the 
black dirty vultures peer out from among the fair leaves. 

Since January 1910 he has been with J. H. Causey & Co., bond dealers 
at 17th and Champa Sts., Denver, Colo. 

Sincerely yours,

Dear Henry, 

To make a long story short in telling the events of interest which have 
occurred since June 1907. Sometime after my return from a trip abroad 
during summer and autumn I entered the office of the Haywood Lumber 
& Mining Co. and up to the present time have been associated with my 
father in other business enterprises and with the above firm, making frequent 
trips to their properties at Waynesville, North Carolina.' 

During the summer of 1909 I again had the pleasure of a trip abroad. 

\Viith best wishes, I am, 

Yours sincerely, 

Delos Crary.

My Dear Breckinridge, 

Early to bed, Early to rise, makes a man wealthy, healthy and wise. 
Above is the reason why I should have begun this note some hours ago, 
but Masters' Meeting in Morristown School on Tuesday night has the 
double advantage of rendering one idiotic and of consuming his time the 
while — and to-night time had rare consuming. A complaint about the 
curtailment of privileges coming from the boys committee on government 
was read and discussed an hour or more. All of us were duly intimidated 
when the school threatened to convince us that their privileges were 
iniquitously curtailed, averring that "their arsenal of reason would not 
f!ow out" till they had brought us to their view point. Pretty figure of 
speech, wasn't it? 

Couldn't 1907 devise some way to protect school masters from the dire 
threats of their pupils. Think what relief for us it would be to know that 
the boys looked more up to us as friends than tyrants, and what a relief 
it would be for the boys' vocabularies if they didn't have to 'damn' masters so 
much. Here's a chance to do something for the American boy and believe 
me (fooling aside) he is worth doing something for, if what I saw of him 
during my first two years of work in West Nothingham Academy, Colora, 
Maryland, and what I am seeing of him this present year in Morristown 
School counts for anything. Here's to the school boy and may he have 
enough sense to go to Princeton. 

Yours very faithfully, 

HUBERTIS Cum MINGS.

My Dear Henry, 

As you will probably need a few letters to fill up the space in the 
Triennial record, and as I have a little time on my hands I shall endeavor 
to set forth my brilliant career since I left the 1907 tent in June 1908. 

At present I do not remember the exact day that I left Princeton after 
our first reunion, but I think it must have been after our tent was down 
and most of the students were back in their offices or on their favorite 
corner in their home town. Anyhow I vacationed during the summer of 
1908 and in September I was urged to accept a position with J. B. & J. M. 
Cornell Co. of New York City. Of course I did my duty while there but 
I was forced to leave them in the following March to take a position with 
The National Birdge Co. of Long Island City. The Cornell Co. had 
failed. It wasn't my fault I assure you. I was engaged during this time 
in steel construction work. I had several positions of the same kind with 
different concerns in and around New York until I became a member of 
Herbert S. Blake & Co. Mr. Blake was handling the finances of The 
Cornell Co. while I was there on the engineering end and of course he was 
crazy to get hold of me when he established his office in its present form. 
Therefore I am here.

The year after I graduated I spent in Princeton as an assistant to

in my estimation. 

Well I think that will be about all this time. Don't take it too much 
to heart as it is only the way I feel that makes me do this.

President and sales manager of the Davis-Bridaham Drug

My Dear Breck^ 

Answering your inquiry as to what I have been doing since our 
graduation, would say that there is not a great deal to tell. Immediately 
after graduating I went into the wholesale drug business in connection with 
my father and his partner. During the first year I absorbed the business 
from the viewpoint of a travelling salesman. In January 1909 I lost my 
father and since that time have been more or less confined to business 
matters. 

I regretted greatly that my various duties made it impossible for me 
to attend the Triennial Reunion, but am very much in hopes that June 
1912 will see me in Princeton with the rest of the class. 

We in the West have little opportunity of seeing our classmates, 
although occasionally some member of the class drifts into our town. I 
think five '07 men are all that I have seen in the last three years. 
With best regiards, I am. 

Sincerely yours, 

R. H. Davis.

Dear Classmates, 

Since graduation I have stuck pretty close to the working game but of 
course mixed in with several very pleasant vacations. One of the most 
enjoyable of which was the yacht race to Bermuda Islands on Dal McKee's 
yacht. I also had a very thrilling trip to New Foundland being shipwrecked 
in the Bay of Fundy, and had the novel experience of being turned in as 
a fireman, and also to help man the pumps for sixty hours to keep her afloat. 
In the fall of 1907 I started work in the paper mill, working for a time in 
each department. In 1909 went into the office where I spent about one half of 
my time, the rest being spent on the road and since that time have had 
charge of the sales department and have done most of the traveHng for 
the concern, which in a way makes it very nice for me, as I cover a big 
territory, practically from Denver to New York and Duluth to Atlanta, and 
get a chance to meet a good many classmates in my wanderings, a short 
time ago was elected vice-president of the concern, so you see I have been 
more fortunate in the line of business than in our branches of life for as 
yet I have no prospects of getting married but of course have hopes.

CHARLES P. DEEMS 

a Pocantico Hills, N. Y. 

& 13 Lawrence Hall, Cambridge, Mass. 

Student of theology. 

During the summer employed as assistant by the Seaman's 
Church Institute. 

Dear Classmates, 

Since Princeton ceased to be the all absorbing subject of my thoughts, 
I have been devoting most of my time to work among sailors, for two 
years at St. Mary's House for Sailors in East Boston and later as an 
assistant to Rev. A. R. Mansfield of the Seamens' Church Institute in New 
York City. 

Last winter I again assumed the role of a student and took up my 
abode in Glasgow, Scotland, where I attended the United Free Church 
College. As I look back on my work there I have most vivid remembrances, 
of continual rain, spells of fog lasting day after day and the ever present 
sight of the most pitiful poverty I have ever witnessed. To counteract 
this I look back upon some very delightful friendships, made after con- 
siderable time, with the Scotch students. 

There were a number of American college men there and one of the 
favorite forms of amusement for our friends was listening to us give our 
cheers. Princeton was a great favorite. One evening, during a concert 
given in the slums of Edinburgh, talent became extremely scarce and in 
desparation the leaders came to me to know if I couldn't give the cheers 
for the amusement of the poverty stricken semi intaneatia audience. They 
were so enthusiastic over the result that I was asked to teach it to them. 
After ten minutes or so I had "locomotives" nearly lifting the roof. 
Princeton is now the best known American university in the most noted 
region of Edinburgh. 

I returned in the spring to sailors work and when fall came again I 
had to leave the exciting realm of practical work to continue the development 
of my untrained and obstinate brain here at the Episcopal Theological School 
in Cambridge. 

Very sincerely your classmate, 

Charles Deems.

Dear Breck, 

Having been buried out here in the back woods in a place about the 
size of :^Ionmouth Junction ever since graduation, I feel that little has 
happened in my small world that would be interesting to the best class that 
ever came out of Princeton. 

Expect to continue in this business for another year and then take up 
work in Pittsburg permanently. 

Have been unable to attend any reunions on account of June being the 
end of our fiscal year which means an additional amount of work, but this 
year I managed to break away for a few weeks to get married, but next 
year, indeed every year after that I expect to get back to the old town 
and live it all over again in the few days alloted us. 

Wlishing you and the class the best in the world. 

Yours,

Dear Classmates, 

Breck has asked for some sort of an account of myself since leaving 
Princeton, and although my life has been that of a hard working (?) medical 
student since then and consequently quite uneventful here goes. 

I started in medicine here at Rush Medical College in the fall of 
1907 and expect to receive my 'M. D. in June 191 1. I have been a member 
of the * B n medical Frat since November '07. 

It has been my pleasure to attend the '07 Reunions held here in Chicago 
and to attend the banquets and smokers given by The Princeton Club of 
Chicago of which I am a member. 

I was unable to attend the first reunion at Princeton on account of my 
studies but last June the fever was too strong for me and I boarded the 
Princeton special and went down to the Triennial. This fall I was in 
Princeton for the X. Y. U. football game at which time I was a delegate from 
this chapter to our National Fraternity convention in Philadelphia. 

I have been spending my summers as interne in a hospital at Des 
Moines, Iowa, which is run by an uncle. I expect to take up the practice 



of medicine with this uncle after I have served an interne service in a 
general hospital in Chicago. 

Just now I am very busy trying to whip myself into shape for my 
final exams at the same time doing the work which devolves upon the chair- 
man of the class executive committee. 

I am sorry that I haven't a wife and family to tell you all about. 
I hope that this finds you all well and happy. 

Sincerely, 

Russell C. Doolittle.

October 23, 1910. 
Dear , 

For fifteen minutes I have sat chewing my pen endeavoring to dope 
out a fitting salutation. I have discarded many, such as "Hi Studes," 
"Dear Classmates," etc., etc. and have decided to leave it blank, asking 
€ach fellow who may read this note to take it personally, fill in the blank 
with his own name, and to take with it my theoretical mitt. 

My autobiography since June 1907 is a cinch to write. Three days after 
graduation I went to work for the Hastings Pavement Co., of Broad St., 
New York City. They sent me out to hammer a gang of Italians on Staten 
Island, and until fall I hammered them, or got hammered as the case might 
be. I then was transferred to Brooklyn where, after a while, I was put in 
charge of several pieces of construction. 

I was then sent to Toledo, where I have made my headquarters ever 
since. Was on the road for the Pavement Co. until about a year ago when 
I thought I saw an opportunity to "set up in business" for myself. 

So I quit my job, got desk room and started in to do a general real 
estate business. I am still at it, buying, building, trading, selling, on my 
own hook and at the same time am with The S. H. Detwiler Co., one of 
the oldest real estate firms in Toledo. 

Now that I have no chance in the Class of 1907 kid race, I have gotten 
over the matrimonial ideas of my youth. "Goodie" will tell you that I am 

35 



/ 



a liar (what gentle expressions and sweet words flow from his Balti- 

morian lips). But I'll be glad to see every one of you when you 

hit Toledo, on the ground floor comer opposite the big hotel Secor. 

Here's to the memory of Joe Gish, The Sea Bass, Keg Hollow, our 
next reunion, 1907 and Princeton. Drink 'er down.

Dear Breck, 

Since graduation, which by-the-bye, is three years, so I have just 
noticed, I have spent two years in Princeton as general secretary of the 
Philadelphian Society and one year as instructor in Robert College, Con- 
stantinople. There is not much else to say except that during the interims 
I have knocked about Greece and Egypt and Italy doing a little studying in 
various historical periods which interest me and making friends with a few 
Greeks, Bulgarians, Albanians, and young Turks, and endeavoring to under- 
stand a little of the complicated political condition of the near East in 
addition to officiating ''from the professorial desk in an endeavor to com- 
municate a fact or two to some aspiring young minds. 

Personally the longer I live in the East, the more I am inclined to feel 
the size of this big world and the insignificance of. 

Yours very truly, 

George M. Duff. 

P. S. I wish you could transport a life-size section of America into 
these parts for a few weeks, Princeton, N. J. preferred.

a b 3810 Broadway, N. Y. City. 

Dear Henry, 

It is rather a staggering task for me to write my autobiography at 
this stage. What I have done is of more or less interest to myself but as 

56 



to just how far it may interest others is a question I cannot answer. 
I feel somewhat in the vein of Shakespeare's words: "And how his audit 
stands, who knows save heaven !" However, here is a true and verified 
account of my short life to date. 

Immediately after graduation Eddie Roche and I went out into Western 
Canada — our object being to study the wheat country and its possibilities. 
We travelled over Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta for some time 
examining lands and methods. We spent approximately four months on a 
large ranch as ordinary "hired men." Everything looked very bright and 
hopeful when the financial panic in the late fall of 1907 cut short our plans. 
In all I spent about a year in the west. 

During the years 1908-9 I was a graduate student at Columbia, receiv- 
ing an A. M. degree in the spring of the latter year. For some four months 
I was associate editor of the language publications in the American Book 
Company. 

In the fall of 1909 I entered the New York University Law School 
and am still a student there — hoping to graduate and take the New York bar 
examinations in the fall of 191 1. ^ I am specializing in patent law. 

With best wishes, I am 

Very sincerely, 

Charles Wesley Dunn.

ab c c/o American Fork and Hoe Co., Memphis, Tenn. 

Cashier to the American Fork and Hoe Co., manufacturers 
of hand farming tools. 

I have been pursuing the manufacturing industry strenuously but so 
far not very remuneratively. The first year after graduation I started 
literally at the bottom, working in the forging department of the Harri- 
man, Tenn., branch of the American Fork & Hoe Co., in overalls, swinging 
a sixteen pound sledge as blacksmith helper and assisting, more or less 
effectively, in the general making of hoe blades out of bar steel. For the 
next two years I gradually worked into the finishing side as sub-boss, still 
in overalls, and into the office end in shirt sleeves as assistant shipping clerk, 
bookkeeper, stenographer, cashier, billing clerk, — assitant about everything. 
About six months ago I jumped over to our other Southern factory at 
Memphis, as full-fledged cashier, etc., and still general apprentice to the 
Steel Goods Industry. 

Financially, I am arriving. I have just risen to ten cent cigars, and 
am anticipating saving enough of the wherewithal to make my second 
trip back to the burg for the Fifth Reunion. 

Athletically, I developed into the champion wrestler of the city of 
Harriman ! I have played football one season as end on the American

University team there, coached the same the next year, and the third taken 
my roughest exercise in refereeing, incidentally being "rodced" once as a 
Tennessee mountaineer protest against my adverse ruling. 

Ijterarily, I have been writing, verse and fiction, fitfully, but haven't 
had the nerve to submit anything for publication. I'm stiU hoping. 

Please remember me to any of the student body you see. Spike Steele 
is here with me. I'm hunching for the record fifth reunion. Ill get there 
or bust- 

With best wishes.

Salesman for Pease & Elliman. real estate. 

New York, November 4. 1910. 
I>ear Breckenridge, 

Since leaving Princeton quite a few months before it was time to go, I 
have been endeavoring to earn enough to get three square meals a day and 
a ticket back to Princeton occassionally by selling real estate to people who 
had no previous desire to buy it 

As you notice some of your questions are left Wank. I would Kke to 
blame that on real estate but I feel that this would be going a little too far. 

The first position I had was with the City Investing Co. at 165 Broad- 
way, X. Y., after remaining there three years I decided Pease & Elliman 
needed assistance and accepted a position with them where I now am 
working from three to twelve hours a day. I have seen most of the football 
and baseball games since leaving and only missed our first reunion which 
I promise you will not occur again. 

If you should happen to be up around my way I wish you would drop 
in and see me, and if it is around the first of the month 1*11 take you out 
to lunch. 

Very sincerely yours, 

J. W. Egintox, Jr-

Dear Classmates, 

Three years out of Princeton and now back in it again as a Junior in 
the Theological Seminary ! 

I have spent these three years in the Syrian Protestant College, Beirut, 
Syria, where I have taught a very little algebra to a large and cosmopolitan 
crowd of simple studes ranging from princes almost to beggars and from 
Massachusetts and Brazil to the Dutch East Indies. 
Princeton is a good place to be in. 

Sincerely, 
Arthur B. Fowler.

Assistant to the Inspecting Engineer of the Universal Port- 
land Cement Co. 

Chicago, October 25, 1910. 
Dear Breck, 

My contribution to the "Record," the second to describe officially the 
doings of the members of the most famous class of 1907, is not a lengthy 

60 



one so far as my own experiences since graduation are concerned. To 
begin with, I didn't succumb to the routine of business life until the fall 
of 1907, when I accepted a position with the engineering department of the 
sanitary district of Chicago, then engaged in constructing the North Shore 
Channel from Evanston to Chicago, which is to provide better drainage 
facilities for that section of the city and suburbs. I staid with the "job" till 
February 1909 helping the district dig the ditch, first on paper then in reality. 
At this time I received the offer of a trip to Europe, which I naturally 
couldn't decline as it was too good an opportunity to miss. 

At the start I expected to be away only three or four months but there 
were so many places to be visited in so many different countries that it 
was about eight months after leaving New York when I finally returned. 

Since then I have been in my present position with the Universal Port- 
land Cement Co. and have been busily occupied in learning all about concrete 
construction in general and the manufacture and use of cement in par- 
ticular. 

The number of '07 men living in and near this town is not very large, 
yet we manage to put forth considerable noise and enthusiasm at the "class 
dinners" which we try to have two or three times each year. 

Don Scott and I hold numerous unofficial meetings in between these big 
events and sometimes we can connect with Lan Hoyt, Bob Carton or Carl 
and Harold Zeiss for a small "reunion." 

It isn't very often that we get news of the doings of those of the class 
in the East, and I will certainly be glad to get a copy of the Record and find 
out what every '07 man is doing. Here's good luck to every one of them, 
a "triple for oughty seven," and a "locomotive for Princeton" ! 

Yours sincerely. 
Doc.

Dear Breck, 

After leaving college in 1905 I chased the ctire in Colorado for about 
a year and a half. Wihen I felt that I had the cure pretty well lassooed I 
came back to St. Louis and began to study the gentle art of painting at which 
trade I have been working ever since. Last year I spent abroad mostly in 
Paris, trying) to pick up a little of what they can teach over there. That 
brings my little history up to date and there is nothing of much interest that 
I have left out.

My Dear Breck, 

Enclosed please find your blank form filled out as required except 
for letter, for which you can take what "dope" you wish from this. As 
for my past life, I guess you know about all there is to tell. A couple 
years spent in N. Carolina doing a little of everything, but principally 
lumber business and brick business. Then a year put in as superintendant 
of Thomasville Stone & Lime Co. at York, Pa. On September ist, 1909 
I came west, first to Old Mexico, where I became and still am a director 
in "The Fuerte Land Co." holding an irrigating* land proposition in State 
of Sinaloa, Mexico, About October ist, 1909 I landed in this God's own 
country, and being broke took a job as a day laborer in the lumber yards. 
About December ist, 1909 I was promoted from this exalted position to 
a job in the office of The National Lumber Co. which I held down until 
June 1st, 1910, when I went with The Pacific Lumber Co. as stock 
clerk and staid with them until we formed this firm, or rather partner- 
ship, on September ist, 1910. As yet we have no contracts but business 
is good and I feel sure we will soon land something. This is about all 
I know that will interest you, my friend, and you are at liberty to use 
any of it in the book. 

As ever your friend, 
Jim.

Dear Breck, 

Ever since I left Princeton in 1908— having taken one year of post- 
gjraduate work there— I've been teaching at the The Tome School for 
Boys. I've been up to games as often as I could manage it. Otherwise 
my career hasn't been over-eventful except that last June I had to have 
my appendix removed, and now I have him pickled permanently (note 
the alliteration) in alcohol. 

Sincerely yours,

c 100 Washington Sq., N. Y. City. 

Representative of the American Book Co., school text-book 
publishers. 

Since leaving Princeton I have been in the publishing business, one 
year with the University Publishing Company, and four years in my 
present location. I have taken a course of study in Columbia, and I have 
been identified with the Association Glee Club, and the Dormitory Council 
of the Twenty-third St. Y. M. C. A. I was president of both of these 
bodies in 1909-1910. I have been back to every reunion of the class, either 
in February or June, and I have not missed an important athletic meet 
or bridge game. 

I do not own any sheep, automobiles, cows, aeroplanes, or duck 
ponds, but find a great deal of amusement and pleasure in attending the 
theatre, dances, card parties, churches, and political meetings. And then, 
too, I am very much like Gus Wuerth in that I do like to have little 
musical "fests" every now and then — just a touch of college days. I 
expect to do a little amateur theatrical work this winter, but my success 
will depend on the number of my friends in the audience. I have never 
made any famous records of any kind, except in "topping" and "pulling" 
golf balls. I stand superior to all in that respect. 

My chief aim is to succeed in my business, — not to get married. But 
I've no doubt that I'll miss fire some day and hit the other mark, pro- 
viding the right target comes along, and I can find the necessary "bullets." 

I give Trenton a treat every Saturday and Princeton every three or 
four weeks. 

I'm for all those personal attachments, for God, for Country, Princeton, 
Class of 1907, Woodrow Wilson, and the almighty dollar. 

Faithfully, 
(Jim) Bayard M. Green.

I spent the summer of '07 after graduation, in having a last, long 
vacation. This was sadly terminated bj- m5- fathers illness and death 
which occurred on August 31, 1907. I immediately applied for a position 
with the Standard Oil Co. and started work on October i, in the export 
trade dept. at 26 Broadway, X. Y. City. Was transferred the following 
spring to the S, O. Co. at Newark, X. J., where I have been ever since. 
Have had various positions there, being clerk, bookkeeper, collector, assist- 
ant station auditor, and stove and lamp salesman. 

While in 26 Broadway, "Cash" Qark was with n:e and he was sent 
to Shanghai, China about the time of my transfer to Xewark. 

The life of a travelling man has both its pleasant and disagreeable 
features. The acquaintances and friendships that one grows out of touch 
with in one's home town, are made up for in the pleasure of nmning 
across some of the studes in most imexpected and out-of-the-way places. 
It has been very easy for me to get back to the old burg frequently and 
renew mj- undergrad days. 

Sincerely,

My Dear Breck, 

Life has been astoundingly uneventful since the marvelous class left 
college. I have not been in South America or Australia or China and 
Japan, from which barbarous parts of the globe I hear reports from time 

67 



( 



to time from friends of 1907. I have had no wonderful adventures such as 
have enlivened the lives of many of us. 

It is a great gratification to see that so many of us were wise enough 
to settle down and begin the "founding of a home." It seemes to me that 
those who have strayed the farthest have returned and settled down the 
hardest. 

I have not yet reached the age of 50, as the foregoing epistle might 
indicate. I still have my eye out for the variety and adventure that seems 
to have fallen to the lot of others. 

Ever yours,

Dear Breck, 

Your post card just received. Am sorry to have inconvenienced you 
in any way. Should have written before but have been too busy. A 
fourth year student of mining engineering hasn't much time for anything 
but mining engineering. 

Have little of iterest to write as I have been plugging hard since 
leaving Princeton. Spent part of last summer working in a mine in 
British Columbia. It is a fine country out there and I hope to return next 
summer. Last summer besides working I visited a number of mining 
camps and every^vhere I went I heard stories of the wonderful pitching 
of Byram '06, who spent some time out there in mining work. He is 
about the only Princeton man I have heard of in this country. 

Last winter I was surprised to meet Harry Johnson in ^Montreal and 
we spent several pleasant days together. 

Be sure and send me a copy of the Triennial Record. 

Hastily,

Dear Breckinridge, 

Upon leaving Princeton I obtained a position with N. W. Ayer & Son 
of Philadelphia as a press agent, and the contracts that I worked on were 
newspaper contracts for The National Biscuit Company in the Western 
states. I continued at this work but a short time, when I took a position 
direct with The National Biscuit Company, in charge of the Racine agency, 
at Racine, Wisconsin, at which position I made fair proglress, and was pro- 
moted to Superintendent of Agencies for The National Biscuit Company 
in the State of Alabama, at which position I worked up to two years ago, 
at which time I came home to Trenton, and was taken into the Samuel 
Heath Company, being made Treasurer of this lumber business, which po- 
sition I am still endeavoring to hold down. 

I was married last winter to Janet F. Curtis of this city, who, on 
October 23rd presented me with a baby boy, who is doing very nicely at 
the present time, as is his mother, and we reside at 28 Atterbury Avenue, 
this city. Regarding any noteworthy things that I have done, would say 
that my record is almost nil, and the only thing of public comment that 
might be mentioned is that I was the maker of the Trenton slogan, 
"The World takes-Trenton Makes," which I believe received favorable 
criticism in the New York and Philadelphia papers, as well as our own 
dailies. 

With my kindest personal wishes to yourself, I am. 

Yours very truly,

There is nothing I have not neglected the last few months as I have 
been taking a lively interest in affairs of state since I was admitted to the 
bar last June. 

I am an Assembh-man-elect from Monmouth Count}-, which went

Assistant minister of the Church of the Son of ^lan. (Unde-

Dear Breck, 

Last May I was graduated from the Union Theological Seminary of 
New York City 'magna cum laude.' During the last tw'o years of the 
course I was in residence at the Union Settlement, a social settlement on the 
upper east side of Xew York City (104th St.). not only doing some 
social work but also acting in the capacitj' of assistant minister to the 
congregation which holds its religious sen-ices at the Union Settlement and 
which is known as the Church of the Son of Man. It is undenominational 
tho' Protestant church. 

This work I am continuing to do for the present and in addition I 
am taking graduate work at Union Theological Seminary and Columbia 
University. 

In April the Presbytery of Xew York licensed me to preach and on 
the 20th of the present month I will be ordained as an evangehst by the 
same body. 

If any of the men of the class are interested in social ser^'ice and the 
great needs of the East Side they will find a welcome at Union Settlement 
and an opportunity to see something of the ways in which modem Chris- 
tianity is meeting these needs. 

Yours faithfully, 

Walter Abe Henricks.

of numerous allegations to the contrary by all sorts of persons. Term began 
at Merton College, Oxford, about October 14, and with it a life which differed 
from and yet resembled in many points the life at Princeton. 

Struthers Burt '04 had prepared the way for Princetonians at Merton. 
His friends were very kind from the beginning, though I admit it seemed 
strange at first to be invited to breakfast at 9.00 a. m. and cut by your host 
at 11.00. 

The most important thing to do was, of course, — it being autumn, — to 
play football. The first game I ever saw I played all through. I violated 
most of the rules in the course of the first fifteen minutes, after that I was 
too tired and winded to do anything. In the course of the season, which 
lasts from September to April, I picked up some few ideas about the 
game. In the Easter vacation of my first year I went with the Oxford 
'Varsity to Bordeaux, France. We won in a pouring rain by two touchdowns 
to nothing. 

While I was learning football, my tutor was trying to teach me English 
history, by means of weekly essays on special topics. And by the way the 
English write much better English than we do. Certain English school 
boys who were just starting in could write clearer, more entertaining prose 
than many Americans who had been four years at college. 

My first year ended with a very little work done, some knowledge of 
English sports and games acquired, and a certain number of friends, made 
among Englishmen and Americans. 

The first part of the "long vac" of 1908 I spent in Hampshire visiting 
an Englishman. I played cricket there for the first time. Then 1 saw the

Olympic Games, then went to Germany; spent most of my time in Heidel- 
berg, Munich, Dresden and Berlin. 

The following fall I was tried for the 'varsity, but didn't make good. 
I "read" a little more history, spent both vacations (Christmas and Easter, 
six weeks each) reading in the British Museum. The Cambridge football 
match is played in December, really the middle of the season. After the 
match the remainder of the season is devoted to trying men for the fol- 
lowing year. I played all the remaining games of the year. In March I 
represented Oxford against Cambridge in the hammer throw as second string. 
The summer of 1909 I spent reading in the Bodleian Library at Oxford. The 
following fall I was a forward in the "Rugger Match," when, with thirteen 
men, we beat Cambridge by the record score, 35-3. In January I got appen- 
dictis, wasn't cut but couldn't do anything in athletics. My last year I was 
President of the Junior Common Room, i. e., the undergraduate body of the 
college, and was also Senior Myrmidon of my year, i. e., the first man of my 
class to be elected to the Myrmidon Club of Merton College. I graduated 
in the Honor School of Modern History in June, 1910. I had previously ac- 
cepted my present appointment. I hope all '07 studes will make a note of my 
address and look me up whenever possible.

boys and three masters. That was the first year of the school. This year 
we have seventy boys and ten masters ; and they are the finest lot of boys you 
ever saw. I do what I can to let them know what good things are coming 
to them if they go to Princeton. Two are there now and more are going. 

I have tried very hard to get back to the reunions. But they come just 
about the time the entrance examinations are on, and that is just the time 
I cannot get away. However, in 1912 I shall be at Princeton, if I have to 
chuck the job. 

Wishing you and all the rest of my classmates the best success, I remain, 

Truly yours,

Dear Breck : 

I will shoot you a little line of druel which probably is of no consequence 
to anybody outside of myself — but merely to get it out of my system. 

After graduation I received a position, rather a job, with the Penn 
Mutual Life Insurance Co., with the intention of taking higher mathematics 
and becoming an Actuary. After two years and a half, I found that the 
chafing confines of an office, with the constant hounding of elderly, crabbed

clerks, did not agree with a Princeton training, not only that but inside 
office work was putting my eyes very much "on the bhnk." Consequently 
this last spring, 1910, I resigned, and am now associated with my father in 
the general insurance business. 

My legal residence is Avalon, N. J., a town with a voting population 
of about 125, where I hold the highly lucrative and honorary office of Borough 
"dark". I was a delegate to the New Jersey Democratic Congressional Con- 
vention and cast one perfectly good vote for Woodrow, and we have hopes 
of making a good Democratic town out of Avalon before election. 

For proof I am enclosing you a primary ballot of this last election. 

Yours, 
Ed.

Dear "Breck" and fellow classmates, 

I have spent most of my time since leaving college in changing positions, 
both geographical and in a business way. 

After graduation I worked for a year for the Seneca Engineering Co., 
Montour Falls, N. Y., as a draftsman and on construction work. 

The next year I spent in Canada, running the plane-table on the survey 
party of the Laurentide Paper Co., headquarters at Grand' Mere, P. Q. 
Harry Bennett was then, and is still, working for the same company. 

A year ago last July I accepted a position with the Southern Pacific 
R. R. Co., at Tucson, Ariz., and was sent out as levelman on location 
in New Mexico and Southwestern Colorado. I was with them until this 
spring, when I took my present position with the Union Pacific R. R. Co. 
here in Omaha. 

Would like to write more but think I have taken my share of space al- 

74 



ready, so wishing all the fellows, the class and Princeton a most successful 
year, I am, 

Sincerely yours, 

Wm. H. Hulsizer.

Chemical Engineer for the National Enameling and Stamping 
Co. 

Dear Classmates : 

After graduation I spent two years in Princeton as Dr. L. W. McCay's 
Assistant in chemistry. I guess some of you remember that old saying, 
"Gentlemen, this is a very dangerous experiment; many a man has lost his 
life in performing it; my assistant, Mr. will now perform the experi- 
ment." Well, I was that assistant for two years. Of course, this was in- 
teresting, but the experience from being able to work with such an authority 
as Dr. McCay was very great. At that time we were working on several large 
chemical problems for outside companies. This gave me an experience which 
I could only have obtained after many years of work in the commercial 
world. 

Last February I left Princeton and accepted a position as chemical engi- 
neer with the National Enameling and Stamping Co. of New Jersey. Just 
at present I am working in their Long Island factory, situated in Berlin, Long 
Island. The work is quite general, but extremely interesting. 

I am very sorry to say that I have not yet entered into the blissful state 
of matrimony, but if all signs do not fail before the time for our next 
reunion, T will be able to bring my wife to Princeton for the big game. 
If the realization is as fine as the anticipation (and all say it is better), 
there is nothing like wedded life. 

My sorrows as compared with pleasures have been none. I have always 
been able to attend all the Yale games and to get back for the reunions. 

I certainly do wish you all the best of success in your work and pleasures. 
May we all get back to Princeton in 1912, and make our fifth reunion the 
biggest and best ever. 

Your classmate, 

Wm. R. Hulsizer.

Dear Breck and Studes of 1907, 

I hope I am not quite a "dead one" yet, but I seem to feel that no 
one will ever write my biography, after death (unless subsidized), so here 
^oes for an autobiography : 

After graduating from Princeton in "The Big Class" with Near-Honors 
i. e., third or fourth group (I can't remember which just now) I determined 
upon a life of more-work and more-struggle with the hope, — ever-present 
in the savage breast of a future reward (In Heaven, I guess) — so, along 
with Jim Garretson, Wal Ward, Milesy, Dud Barrows, Burchard Dutcher, 
and Jim Hendrickson (who became quite "the cheese"), I entered the 
classic shades of the Dear Old New York Law School. There we all almost 
passed away, enduring two years of near-hell, enlivened here and there 
by a burst of semi-intelligence in an answer by "Mr." Dutcher and, by an 
occasional "party," or visit among "the submerged tenth" led by "Embryo- 
Judge" Garretson and accompanied by some of our new Yale and Harvard 
"classmates," who are pretty good fellows after all when you get to know 
them. But take it from me, when you go to go to a law school — Don't Go. 
We finally got through with it and, allow me to state, that a better or more 
highly-educated bunch of — — bridge-players never were graduated from 
any institution of advanced learning. 

I am now living in East Orange, N. J. and practicing law in an humble 
sort of way in connection with a Princeton firm at 135 Broadway, New 
York. Have managed to win one of my own cases and am very proud to 
say that at the ripe age of twenty-four, I am ivell-nigh self-supportingi and 
no longer a burden on the family, (Oh! you! $15.00 a week!!) I guess that's 
bad! 

I have decided, after original research, that drinking, etc. is very 
bad for all '07 men. 

Speaking of getting married, if some of you bloated-magnates would 
hand me about $2500.00 a year for about five years, I might send some 
engaging news. You can't roll a "scag" without the "makins." With 
best regiards to all the class, I am, 

Yours for '07 

"Bert" Huntting. 

What care we though troubles come heavy 

And our hearts are burdened with woe 

Or "thou." bills lie scattered around us 

While we have but "two bits" or so; 

Just recall the "big times" we all had together 

'Round the Campus and Steps, long ago. 

Looking forward with joy to Re-unions, 

Let's laugh, and we'll never "feel low."

Dear Breck, 

There is really very little to tell you about myself which would be 
of any interest to the studes. I've been pursuing the necessary legal 
knowledge off and on in that, to the Princeton student, most abhorred and 
berated city of Trenton. As side-lines I am a humble private in Co. E, 
Second New Jersey Infantry, and am President of the Trenton Philatelic 
Society. I hope to take the Bar Examinations this coming February, and 
trust that I shall then join the swelling ranks of '07's legal talent. 

Speaking of '07, isn't it a comforting feeling that comes over one 
when he remembers that he is a part of the greatest class that ever gradu- 
ated from the greatest university in the world? Princeton — 1907, the winning 
combination. 

Yours sicerely, 

Edmund S. Jamieson.

Peoria, III, November 2, 1910. 
Dear Breck, 

Pardon my seeming neglect in not reporting sooner. You will understand 
when you know that I reached Peoria only last nigllit after a summer in 
British Columbia, and found my mail here, your letter among it. • My three 
years out of college have been spent in the reading of law in Chicago at 
Northwestern Law School with summers in the far West, and a touch of 
typhoid in the spring and summer of 1909. This last summer I was fortu- 
nate enough to be a member of a British Columbia Government Expedition 
organized to explore some of the hitherto unknown portion of the interior 
of Vancouver Island. We went in at Campbell River on the east coast, and 
after much wandering through a country of great forests, mountains, 
glaciers, lakes, and waterfalls, came out on the west coast of the Island at 

78 



Alberni. On the strength of the report of our party the region about 
Battles' Lake has since been set aside by the Provincial government as a 
National Park. 

I expect to be in Chicago this winter but have not located a job as yet. 

Yours, 

Harry McC Johnson.

Nassau Orchard Co. Ranch, 

Stevensvill, Montana, October 9, 1910. 
Dear Breck, 

Your circular letter reached me yesterday and having filled in your 
blank form — mostly with blank space — I will attempt to answer the rest 
of your questions in order, leaving out the first one about marriage (already 
answered with one of the aforesaid blanks). 

After leaving college I entered the General Freight Office of the P. R. R. 
where I remained until March, 1910. About that time, finding that office- 
work was putting my lamps on the blink, I signed the Declaration of Inde- 
pendence, and in response to a most cordial invitation, hit the trail for the 
Diamond Bar Ranch, owned by Hugh Hodge '95, near Silver City, N. M. 
After a short stay there, I was asked to take charge of this apple-ranch, 
owned by several Princeton men in Philadelphia, and I arrived here in 
April. It is a great life; plenty of hard work, of course, but always in the 
open air, and as the climate here is very fine, that means a great deal. If 
I kept on talking about this Bitter Root Valley you would probably accuse me 
of being a real estate agent, let alone a liar. 

As to pleasures, I've been lucky enough to have more than my share, 
I think. To begin with, until I came West I was living so near the old 
burg that I was able to keep up an average of every other Saturday and 
Sunday in Princeton, which was a keen pleasure, even though "the old 
familiar faces" kept getting fewer and fewer. I had the honor of serv- 
ing as Secretary of the Princeton Club of Philadelphia for a short time — 
about a year — in which club, by the way, we held some very successful 
1907 dinners engineered by that grand old man of the LAW, "Jack" 

79 



\ 



Larzelere, who always presided when absolutely necessary, and was gen- 
erally willing, after being urged, to singi that old classic "Five cent 
TUROLLEY RIIIDE." At least he was willing at certain stages of the 
evening, or when Doc Nutt needed an alarm. Then, too, we had some 
informal reunions which were good, especially around Yale-game-time. 

On my trip out, I stopped off first at Pittsburgfi where almost the 
first person I saw was Spook. He had just returned from the Alumni 
dinner at St. Louis, and could only make signs — said afterwards that it was 
Wells' fault. Spook was busy running the Triangle performance that 
afternoon. At the theatre I saw Tom Pears, w^ho had torn himself away 
from his studies — ? to take in the show. 

In Denver I saw Roblin Davis, who is now one of the big business 
men of that city — big in more ways than one, and Dutch Cranmer, busy 
as usual. Both promised to be on hand for that 5th reunion. 

Haven't missed a Commencement in thirteen years, so when June 
rolled around I couldn't stay away. In Chicago I met Don Scott, Doc 
Freeman, Doolittle and Harry Johnson, and we had a most enjoyable trip 
on the Princeton special. It will take some time for the memory of the 
Triennial to fade, for it was a corker. 

After seeing the team win the third game in New York I came back 
here where I hope to stay for some time. 

Sorry I can't make this a more interesting letter, but I've told you 
about all I can think of. The life here — ranch-work, riding, driving, etc., 
varied by an occasional hunting or fishing trip up in the hills — is pleasant 
but uneventful. Princeton men are few and far between — nearest 1907 man 
is Sheriff Neil at Helena — and Alumni Weeklies are like letters from home. 
Hope to see lots of news about '07 this year ; not that I don't hope you'll 
have more cases than you know what to do with. 

With best wishes to you and the class, I am. 

Yours sincerely, 

Forsyth Joline.

Dear Henry, 

After graduating I had a position wtih F. G. Todd the landscape archi- 
tect at Montreal. During the summer I worked under him surveying Point 
Grey near Vancouver for six weeks. Before coming east I visited Victoria, 
(B. C.), Tacoma and Seattle. When I returned to Montreal, I worked in 
Mr. Todd's office as office boy, draughtsman, debtor-dunner and French 
interpreter. When the hard times struck us in the winter, I was laid off, 
and returned to Princeton where I tutored fellows for the midyears. In 
March I went back to m> old job which I held till June. I then returned 
to my summer home, Murray Bay on the St. Lawrence, where I tuto#ed 
all summer. In the autumn I went to Princeton as Special Fellow in History 
and took my M. A. the following spring. 

The next summer (1909) I was again at Murray Bay tutoring and work- 
ing on small gardens, but got away for the Tercentenary celebration at 
Quebec. I have an impression you were there, but I missed seeing you. 

Last year I was again at Princeton, living at Merwick, but spent a great 
deal of my time in New York owing to my father's illness. 

I left home on May 28th to join the fellow I tutored this summer. We 
travelled together through parts of Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, 
Belgium, Holland, and France, and in the middle of August, I left the 
party, and did some "travelling for pleasure" with Peter Richardson 1913, 
and later with Charles Read 1908. 

I reached here on September 6th, and since that time have been studying 
languages (German principally) until the opening of the university. It 
opens very late — the 22nd of October — but I shall then take courses and 
do some work on my thesis. 

I was very sorry to miss our Triennial last spring, for I enjoyed the 
second reunion, the year before, so much, but I should have lost my summer's 
work if I had stayed. 

Newton James is the only one of the class whom I have seen since I 
have been over, and I met him in Paris. Please remember me to all

I am certainly anxious to see that Class Record. Since I have neither 
died, married, become engaged or the father of children, I fear I cannot 
contribute anything very startling to it. In September 1907 I started working 
for the Oswego Maize Products Co., Oswego, N. Y. In December of the 
same year I resigned to go with a retail and wholesale hardware concern 
of the same town. In March, 1908 I entered the employ of the Tidewater

trains, ferry boats, timetables and bundles. With best wishes for yourself and

Henry, after working like the devil for my degree, which I got in 
February, 1908, I immediately entered the bond business, which I have 
stuck to very tenaciously ever since. 

Until the first of this month I was associated with Blake & Reeves, 
bond brokers, 34 Pine St., N. Y. C, but severed my connection with them 
at above time to accept a far more attractive position, both from a business 
as well -as a financial standpoint, with Bigelow & Co., 49 Wall St., N. Y, C. 
My efforts are confined to building up one branch of their bond business 
which up to the present time has not been given serious consideration by 
them. It is an excellent opportunity but solely up to me and I feel that I 
can produce. 

A reform wave has struck me for my habits have become very sober 
indeed, it being ii'ost a year since I have touched tobacco and Adam's ale is 
my principal beverage, still there is no woman lurking in the case. My 
attentions, however, have been rather confined but that should provoke no 
special suspicion for you know we are all getting too old to be "fussers" 
any longer. With best wishes, 

Yours very sincerely,

My Dear Classmates, 

Immediately after graduation I proposed to take a substantial vacation, 
and one which I would not soon forget. Consequently for the whole sum- 
mer after graduation I did nothing but try to amuse myself, which at 
times was done under difficulties. I spent a good part of that summer in 
Canada on the north shore of the Great Lakes. I left there in September 
and took a position that month with the Farmers' Fire Insurance Company 
of York, Pa. 

A great many people have an impression that fire insurance is "the 
last infirmity of noble minds." This is absolutely false and misleading. I 
have found it precisely the opposite. In fact I begin to realize that it 
requires a general knowledge of almost everything, and then some more 
besides. Those of our class who are engaged in this business will, I 
think, appreciate this statement. If those who are not so employed, question 
it, ask Sid Coale. He is one of our shining lights in fire insurance. 

I have been in this business for three years and do not contemplate a 
change. I believe it is poor policy to be continuously looking for some- 
thing new, because this method does not render a man efficient in anything. 

My vocation consists, for the most part, of a work to which I cannot 
gjive as much time as I would wish, but which, nevertheless, is fully as 
urgent and important. I refer to Christian service. I derive considerable 
pleasure as well as a powerful uplift from such work. I suppose the feature 
of Christian work on which I place especial emphasis is the Brotherhood 
movement I have been privileged to do considerable speaking throughout 
our Presbytery in its behalf. 

I am glad to write that my pleasures have outweighed my sorrows, 
although I regret to say that my uncle, who was head of the company in 
which I am employed, died the past summer. 

I admit that I have not yet experienced that pleasure which is capable 
of outweighing almost any sorrow that can come upon us. I refer to 
marriage. After consulting the marriage list of our class, I should judge 
that wedlock is undoubtedly the highest ambition of the men in the class. 

As the three pages assigned to me by the class secretary are about full, 
I will bring this letter to a close with my best wishes to you all for pros- 
perity and long life. 

Sincerely yours, 

W. McC. Kerr.

Dear Breck, 

A few weeks after graduation I went out to Colorado Spring's and 
spent a year there tutoring. Entered the Harvard Law School the following 
fall, and have been here ever since, this being my third and last year. 

You ask for an account of my "sorrows." The worst thing that has 
happened to me is that I have not been able to get back to Princeton since 
you fellows put me through the car window.

Dear Breck, 

On leaving college, I found myself up against the same serious prob- 
lem that I imagine confronted most men of the class — that of deciding what 
business I was best suited for, where I could start with the best chances 
of landing a job which would put me in line for setting the world on fire. 
I found the situation about as difficult to figure out as the Sophomore elec- 
tion combine, and finally settled down in the following September to the 
study of the law. 

I have pursued this learned subject with as much diligence as I am 
capable of for the past three years, and I am now just coming to the point 
where I can earn an honest dollar every once in a while. 

The only variation to the rather arduous life of a law student has been 
two trips to the Pacific coast. During these trips I have had the pleasure of 
renewing acquaintances with a number of 1907 men. It would be too 
long a story to even tell you their names. 

I suppose I have by this tim^e filled up my allotment of space in this 
record. I don't know that this autobiography is just the form you require, 
but I trust it will fill the bill. 

86 



Incidentally, I might add that I am neither engaged nor married, and 
from present indications have no matrimonial prospects. 
With best wishes and regards to 1907, 

"Jack."

Born : Robert Moffat Losey, May 2y, 1908, at Andrew, Iowa. 

Dear Breck, 

I have no intention of writing a class letter, but will give you my 
statistics, not that there is anything of a startling or even interesting 
nature about them, but simply because you have asked for them. 

Was married the day after Commencement, and a couple of weeks 
later we started west, finally arriving in California, where we spent ten 
days with "Tank" at his home in Pasadena. Then north to Seattle, and 
back east, stopping for three weeks at Court DaiRand's ranch in Montana 
(which, by the way, he is now cutting up into building lots and says the 
DuRand City is to number not less than 30,000 inside of five years). 

WJife and I spent the winter at the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, and 
went to Andrew, Iowa in the spring, where I was pastor of the Presbyterian 
Church for the summer, and where we welcomed the Class Boy into our 
home. That fall we came to Princeton Seminary for the winter. The 
following June I took charge of the Presbyterian Church at Esperance for 
the summer, but remained there till this fall, and was ordained. How- 
ever, decided to finish my Seminary work, and came to Auburn, where we 
are very pleasantly located, and I am enjoying the work at the Seminary, 
enrolled as a Senior. 

Hope it may be possible for the boy to meet the other members of his 
class in 1912, at Princeton. He is a star baseball player already and seems 
to be made of pretty good football material. 

Sincerely yours, 

Leon A. Losey.

Dear Classmates, 

I have thoroughly enjoyed my business experiences since June, 1907, 
and averaging the pleasant and disagreeable I can't complain. 

One of the big disappointments has been my inability to get back to 
Princeton either at reunions or any of the big games. 

I took a turn at life insurance after graduation, but did not enjoy 
the work and during the year 1908 was associated with an electrical signal 
concern, working in Western New York and also spending five months 
in Montreal. 

Since January 1909 I have been in the office specialty and advertising 
game and am at present on my own hook. 

With best wishes to all 1907 men, believe me,

from the Okefemokee swamp. I was with these people until August, 1910 — 
and am now contracting logging, logging R. R., and any work connected

greatest campus for some time, but if I can find another glass of nice cool

Dear Bretk, 

I have lost the statistic blank which you sent me and if you can use 
any of the hot air which I am about to generate, you will have to gather it 
out of this letter. The reason I am so late in sending in my little portion is 
that I hate to talk about myself, and so my natural modesty has made me 
procrastinate. I know you will not believe this, but it is the only excuse I 
have to offer so I send it along hoping that it will serve in a measure to 
calm your justified anger. 

To begin with I am not married nor am I engaged, and it naturally 
stands to reason that I have no children (no remarks from you about what 
might be). I expect to write those same statistics for all time unless the 
cost of living gets considerably lower and I can find somebody who will 
support me in the manner which I have been accustomed to. We are 
not all lucky in Geneva. 

As to my doings for the last three years I might say that after gradu- 
ating Gus Wuerth and I went on a semi-hobo trip through Europe on 
wheels. Wie did not do anything more exciting than get arrested in France 
and cover about sixteen hundred miles on our wheels arrayed in such 
nondescript costumes that the natives had brain fever trying to figure 
out our nationalities. 

Arriving in this country about the middle of September I went down 
to see that college was started off in the right manner and then started out 
to look for a job. I guess my bald head helped some for I succeeded in 
making the U. T. Hungerford Brass & Copper Co. of New York believe 
that they had been waiting for me for many years and started with them 
as stock clerk about October ist, '07. I stayed with that firm until October 
I, 1909, working up to be quotation clerk and inside salesman. The habit 
of study which I had acquired at Princeton would not give me any peace, 
however, so about October i, of last year I hooked up with a relative and 
started in as a custom's broker (he furnished the experience and I lent 
dignity to the firm, that is my strong point) and started in to study law. 
I am still at it and have about seven months to serve before I get my 
degree. I don't know what I will do with it whien I do get it, but I will 
add that much to my collection anyway. I am a member of the Senior 
evening class at the New York Law School. I work about eighteen hours 
a ,day and sleep about six. The rest of the time I have for recreation and 
writing such long letters as this. 

Now Breck, you may carve this letter as you choose and print what

I am still quite unmarried, for while I may possibly have the inclination, 
I am as yet lacking in the lady and the loose change, two ven- essential

604 Wright & Callender Building, 

Los Angeles, November 20, 1910. 
Dear Breck, 

Greetings from the far land of California. Last spring I came out to 
the city which the local yellow journals call "lovely lush Los Angeles," 
whatever that is. This country has only one drawback — it is a long way 
from Princeton and the studes — too far for me to get back to the reunion 
last June. But even here we have a small '07 colony. The other day some 
of my pals and I were out looking for an apartment, for our board bill 
was past due. The manager of one place was showing us through and 
announced with a wave of his hand. "Here is where Mr. Barbee lives, Mr. 
Richard Barbee, the actor, you know !" We were duly impressed and 
found it none other than our friend Dick, now an actor at the Belasco 
Theatre. Hooper Dunbar and Jim Gittings are also here and Bob Childs 
is living nearby at Riverside, peddling oranges or some such occupation. 

After leaving college, I was with an automobile concern in Denver for 
six months. In 1908 I left this to go into the merchandise brokerage busi- 
ness — under the firm name of the Bancker-McCrary Brokerage Co. We 
handled canned goods, dried fruits, nuts, etc. The next year I had an 
illness and went east to convalesce, when I camped with several of my 

95 



\ 



good hearted classmates. In two daj-s there I found I could see more studes 
than in all the time since Commencement. 

Brick DuflF was about to embark for Constantinople at that time, and 
rather than have him go unchaperoned, I bought a bunk and went with him 
We did Paris and Switzerland together, and afterward, while George went 
sailing down the blue Danube, I beat it to German}^ and London, then to 
Edinburgh where I visited Ray Coyle two weeks. Ray, as a student at the 
university, vv-as fast becoming a savant, — I think that's what you call a 
judge of good Scotch 'skey. In those two weeks they had me wearing 
fuzzy wooly Scotch clothes, smoking a calabash and carrying a thistle for 
a stick. I was back in New York two months after I left, and with a day 
at Princeton just to touch the cannon and shake the lions by the paw, I 
hurried home. 

Last April I gave up the business in Denver and came here to the 
Coast where I am now learning the art of landscape architecture as all-round 
assistant to Mr. W. D. Cook. This line of work is very interesting, I 
find, and I hope before long, to take a course in it at Harvard. At present 
I am getting the practical end of all sorts of problems, from laying out 
private estates to planning new town sites in this fast developing country. 

Many old studes will be coming out here in the next year or so and I 
want every one to look me up, even though he be on his honeymoon. In 
that case I will be glad to talk to his wife while he goes out to see the 
town. 

Yours for 1912 and all kinds of success in your profession.

Dear "Breck," 

I spent a year and a half in the bond business working first for a Mr. 
Murray v/ho represented N. W. Harris & Co. of New York, and later for 
Harris & Co. themselves. I gained a knowledge of the bond business and 
a useful experience in general business methods. The "coin of the realm," 
however, evinces an elusiveness which is both disconcerting and astounding. 
I wish I could lay hands on the sage who proclaimed that money is harder 
to retain than acquire. The days when it was easy to make money were the 
days when counterfeiting was not so hazardous. But that brings me to my 
inquiry. 

The class is scattered far and wide reaching into many strange and un- 
frequented places. Now I am looking for a little known land, a spot which 
is much spoken of but whose exact location has never been given and I am 
going to ask you and the other members of my class to help me in this 
search. It may easily be that some of my classmates imbued with a restless 
spirit and wandering from the routine path of man, have heard distant 
rumors of this sought for clime and thus, though they know not where it 
is or how to reach it, can at least encourage me in my search. Or if by 
chance some happy "stude" has found it and yet takes time to write a 
letter to our class record, I might, by careful scrutiny of the strange postmarks 
on his worn envelope, gain some clue. The slightest hint that you, old man, 
or any of the men of 1907 can give me will be more than appreciated for I 
am indeed eager in this search, Breck, and I will confide in you — I want 
to find the land where a succor is born every minute and man knows not 
the value of a dollar. 

Hopefully, 

Dal McKee.

Manager of a sheep ranch for the Duard Live Stock Co. 

Dear Students, 

If you really think my life, since leaving Princeton will interest you, 
here goes. It, most all of it, has been spent on a sheep ranch. The first 
two years in Central Oregon forty-five miles from a railroad. After that 
wild experience I took the Short Agricultural Course, specializing in sheep, 
at the University of Wisconsin. Since then I've been on sheep ranches 
in Colorado first as foreman and now as "manager with an interest." From 
early spring until late fall I am on the ranch and range with the sheep. 
This summer our outfit was above timber line (at an altitude of from 11,000 
to 13,200 ft.) in the wildest kind of a country, where nionntaiii sheep and 
goats, and mountain lions were much more plentiful than tame humans.

In the winter time I get back to civilization and drink the cup to the 
bottom, dregs included. 

It may sound like a wild and unsocial sort of life. It is. But it's 
fascinating and at times quite leisurely. So I'm happy. Incidentally it 
pays too. 

Yours, 

Donald McLean.

Dear Breck, 

I live so far away from the centre of things — the old cannon — ^that I 
rarely come in contact with any of the class. I have seen but three class- 
mates since June '07. This last week I had a very interesting visit with 
George Sargent who is the stage manager of the "Fortune Hunter Co." 
Distance has prevented my attending reunions, but my interest in Prince- 
ton and '07 has never flagged. I shall be very interested in the Triennial 
Record and I send my greetings to the class. 

Sincerely, 

R. S. McNiECE.

Dear Breck, 

Please pardon my tardiness in filling out and returning the enclosed. 
But I have been West and South looking over prospects for a fruit ranch 
and skipping around the way I have been doing no attempt was made to 
forward my mail. 

Having simply chased around the American continent until a year ago 
when tiring of amusement and realizing it was time to get busy I started 
in at the mill as a weigh up at 1.62 per diem — ^Happening to be on the 
spot at the right moment I acquired my present position which means 
running 60 and 80 salvers who move all the steel to and from the different 
departments of the mill — I receive tonnage rates and pay them by the day 
myself. 

Yours truly, 

Studie. 

Pardon brevity but am just leaving for Chicago. 



MCLEAN FORMAN MORRIS

Assistant to Brown Bros. & Co., bankers. 

Dear Breck, 

A thousand apologies for this long silence though to tell the truth I 
feel almost justified in it for the simple reason that there is nothing for 
me to "speak up" about. I am neither married nor engaged and my chief 
occupation is the acquisition of the elusive dollar which becomes more 
elusive each year. Those are the most important facts that I have to offer 
for the consideration of the great and glorious class unless you want me to 
add that I have been leading a model life in a bi^ city, which you must 
admit is something. However, if you insist on an elaboration, here goes. 

The summer after graduating I spent in a most tiresome and laborious 
manner looking for that long heralded and justly unpopular "job." My 
only consolation arose from the thought that a good many other ex- 
students were doing the same thing. I finally found "it," for no other 
word could be so descriptive, but my quest had been so fatiguing that 
before starting in to earn my living I decided to take a much needed rest. 
Fortunately two other aspirants for fame in Dick Cook and Harry Smith, 
were also looking for a rest cure before undertaking the "strenuous 
life," and we accepted an invitation to take a trip through the Great Lakes 
on an ore-boat. Of the glories of that trip, I will not speak, except that 

99 



it spoiled us for any kind of work. Imagine a boat five hundred feet long 
with wonderful accomodations and, I'll put this in parentheses, (a most 
magnificent wine closet) placed absolutely at our disposal, a private car and 
guide to personally conduct us through the ore-mines which we visited at 
Duluth and you can easily imagine what we felt like when we started in to 
work as office boys. 

In August I started on my job. The firm which I was with transferred 
me to Kansas City, Mo. in September, where I found Fred Letts '06 and 
we became exiles together. Lem Osborn was also out there and we had 
a short visit from Ham Markham. 

I spent a year there missing my first reunion and feeling very much 
out in the wide wide world. Then I took up another line of business and 
came back to New York where I expect to be permanently. 

That is practically all except now that I am back I am taking no cuts in 
Yale-Princeton football and baseball games, class reunions or dinners. 
One year without them forces you to realize what it means to be out of 
touch with Princeton. Breck, I didn't mean to write so much, so if you 
want to use the blue pencil, go ahead. 

My best wishes to you and to all the class. 

Most sincerely, 

McLean F. Morris.

Student in Germanics. 

Dear Breck, 

Short, and about as interesting as von Bahder's "Neuhochdeutsche gram- 
matik" here is my little history since 1907. 

The first two years out, I spent among the good hearted Pennsylvania- 
Germans, teaching in the little Moravian town of Nazareth, Penna. as 
principal of the high school there. The next year, this last, I became a 
Jerseyite again, and found myself located near Princeton, teaching of 
course, this time as the principal of the Hopewell School, Hopewell, New 
Jersey. Here, last spring, I definitely decided that for the rest of my life 
probably I shall be a teacher, — and a teacher of German rather than math. 

I came over here in July, better to fit m.yself for the work. To Mar- 
burg first, then here to Leipzig. Expect to stay until next summer. I 
find life quite tolerable despite heavy, fatty, greasy meals. Must read an 
awful lot to get anything out of the lectures. Am not much impressed 
by the German girls; the music over here is great. There is an abundance 
of it, it's all excellent, and it's cheap. My next miinchener will be to the 
health of the class of 1907. 

Very truly yours. 

Win Mover.

Dear Breck, 

Pardon my delay in answering this — I've waited till I was definitely 
settled for the year so I could tell you what I was doing. 

Nothing startling has happened to me since graduation. As you know 
I finished Theological School in June and purpose specializing in Church 
History to fit myself for teaching that study in Theological School or 
Seminary. I'll be back in the old town this year as Fellow in Hist — I 
had some hopes of getting over to Berlin University, but that fell through — 
perhaps I can later in the year.

Oh Gentle Students, 

A great sorrow hath come upon our little 1907 colony in this glorious 
metropolis of the South. There has descended upon us that famous man, 
Henry Skinflint Breckinridge, the noble nigger loving Republican of Har- 
vard. No longer does he bellow to the multitude in hoarse and raucous 
tones, but his voice hath taken on a note of Harvard culture. He tells us 
in cultured accents that the African is equal to the Anglo-Saxon, yea, 
verily, he maketh the whole State of Maryland tremble with reform. 

Humbly, Oh, noble Class, we beg that this mighty protector of The 
Sons of Ham may be removed from our midst for no longer can wc feed u\nm 
the graft of the Land. 

With love and a sweet kiss.

November 9, 1910. 
Dear Breck, 

One should never be one's own biographer — opinions are apt to be too 
biased — however, since you say the word, here goes ! 

As you know I couldn't finish at college — my father's death two weeks 
after Junior year began brought me up short against the sterner aspect of 
life and it was a case of get out and dig, so dig I did, and have been ever 
since. 

Upon getting into the "great game" I took up my father's business at 
the point where it was dropped at his death, and incorporated the same under 
the firm name of Duane H. Nash, Inc., manufacturing a line of agricultural 
implements. Since then we have spread out considerably, more than doubling 
our volume and selling all over the world the 'Acme' Harrow. 

Not long after leaving college I became engaged to Miss Madaleine 
Robertson of Mohegan, N. Y., and we were married on June 6, 1908. Last 
May 24th Duane Howard Nash, HI, was born, a big boy now of five 
months with a marked preferance for a big Princeton banner hung in his 
nursery. Hope to enter him for class of 1932 graduating at our 25th 
Reunion. So with a couple of trips each year to old Princeton, time has 
gone quickly — and although I could not graduate, nevertheless, am just as 
loyal to the big class 1907 as though I had a "dip." You see mine hasn't 
been a wild exciting career so this letter won't read very interesting but 
these are all the facts. 

Sincerely, 

Duane H. Nash, Jr.

Dear Breck, 

My existence since June 1907 has been prosaic enough to make such a 
letter look like a census report. 

The year 1907-8 I spent in Princeton taking graduate courses in Physics. 
The two following years were spent in same village taking the Electrical 
Engineering course. 

In said three years I added two more degrees to my collection, A.M. 
and E.E. I have spent the last two summers teaching in the Princeton 
Summer School. 

In October I took up my work here with the Western Electric Co., 
and am doing development work. With best regards, I am, 

Sincerely yours.

I always was poor in History, and have been too busy since graduation

life decidedly more so, and am only waiting for the end of the four years 
to get out.

Dear Breck, 

Since June, 1907 I have been through law school, and am now learning 
some of the rudiments of practice in a busy office. The last three years 
have been uneventful for me; one trip to Europe and another to M. S. 
Burt's (04) ranch in Wyoming have, however, broken up the routine of 
city life a bit. 

For real experiences for one record you must depend on hardy ad- 
venturers like H. P. Lewman or Marshall Cochran who motored half way 
across the continent to Princeton last June. Next year I expect Lewman 
will fly! As for me I pretty generally confine myself to the subway and 
Sixth Avenue elevated and have nothing startling to recount. 

Yours sincerely,

Received a perfectly furious letter from Gus Wuerth 'tother day. 
Therefore in fear and trembling, I hasten to tell the story of my life. 

Graduated from Princeton 1907; entered Western Theological Seminary 
in fall of same year ; spent summer of 1908 as Home Missionary in Hazelton,

I St and only Presbyterian Church of that place. Married September 21, 
1910 to Miss Emma Danforth of Buffalo, N. Y. 

Gus said something about dashing off a sonnet, but my sonnet days are 
over. I swore off all foolish things upon graduation. Will this do? 

Truly yours,

I am very sorry to have neglected replying to your two inquiries about 
wellfare and all I have to say to explain the same, is that the superintendent 
at our mill has left us and I am now taking his place and also I have been 
married about a month now and am building so you see I have not made 
much extra time. But to the point. 

On the twelfth of October I married Myra Hood Heebner of Chestnut 
Hill. We will be at St. Martins, Philadelphia, with my family until our 
house is completed, which has been built on the same grounds. This last 
week I have been made superintendent of father's company, James Pollack 
& Son, manufacturing Wilton rugs and ingrain carpet. 

I remain,

Dear Breck, 

The following ii a brief outline of my activities since I left Princeton 
in June 1907. 

106 



J 

i 



On July 8th, 1907 I secured a position with the du Pont Powder Co. 
as a chemist and went into training at their Eastern Laboratory at Gibbs- 
town, N. J., where I took a six weeks course which fitted me for the position 
as a works chemist. I was first stationed at the Repanno works laboratory 
at Gibbstown, where I remained until October, performing the duties of an 
analytical chemist on a dynamite plant. It was during this period that I lost 
my father. My home was in Baltimore at that time, but shortly after this 
my family moved to my old home in Bridgeton, N. J., which is now my 
legal residence. In October 1907, I was sent to Emporium, Pa. to take 
charge of the works laboratory in the du Pont plant there, and my duties 
were extended to work in the acid area of the plant. I remained at Em- 
porium until November of the same year, when I went to Hopatcong in 
New Jersey to take charge of the acid area of a dynamite plant there. In 
February 1908 I returned to the Repanno plant taking up my residence in 
Woodbury. I was stationed here until November 1909. Spending most of 
my time on practical experimental work and making short trips to some 
of the surrounding plants. In November 1909 I went to the du Pont plant 
situated at Barksdale, Wisconsin on special acid work of an experimental 
nature and remained there for nearly nine months, returning to Wilmington, 
Del. last August. 

I am now stationed at the main offices of the du Pont Company as a 
member of the chemical division. My address is just Box 1000, Wilmington, 
Del., which I have given on the first page. 

Outside of my work I have done nothmg to speak of. Unfortunately 
for me I have been travelling the last two years during the Commencement 
season, so I have missed our reunions, but I have hopes of being on deck 
hereafter. Owing to the fact that I have been moving around considerably 
lots of my mail has never reached me which accounts for my seeming neglect 
in not answering former letters. I trust, however, this may not occur in 
the future. 

With kindest regards and best wishes, 

Your true friend, 

Dug Porch.

Palmyra, X. Y., October 25, 1910. 
Dear Classmates, 

Since "parting the sacred companee" in 1907 it has been my misfortune 
to see but few of you and attend (a few hours) one of the reunions for 
which 1907 is famous. In the future I hope to meet many more of you and 
attend all reunions and some dinners. 

June '07 I entered the office of the Principal Assistant Engineer of 
Pennsylvania Railroad at Buffalo, X. Y. At once placed in charge of 
construction to completion of three miles freight line branch at Scottsville 
near Rochester, N. Y. Three months of winter in Buffalo office. Later 
assigned to special work at Pittsburg, Kittanning and Oil City, Pa. until 
July I, '08. 

July I, '08 resigned from Pennsylvania R. R. to accept Civil Service 
appointment of Assistant Civil Engineer, Xew York State Dept. of State 
Engineer which is my present position. I was stationed at Olean, N. Y. 
on highway' improvement until September '08 when I was transferred to 
Barge Canal work in the residency office at Rochester, X. Y. From March 
'09 to June '09 I was in charge of the residency office. This included con- 
siderable outside work. June '09 I had the pleasure of being present at the 
second reunion just long enough to see Princeton trim Yale in the tenth 
inning and be in the big peerade. 

August 27, 1907 I was married to Miss Katherine Stanley Colony of 
Olean, Xew York. 

June to November '09 I had charge of the field work on contract 6 of 
the barge canal. Xovember to February '10 I was assistant engineer, in 
charge of all work on contract 6 which is on the outskirts of Rochester. 
This contract is three and a half miles long and will cost over $1,000,000. It 
was ninety per cent completed in February and I was transferred to Palmyra 
to take charge of contract 77 which is the work I am now engaged in. 
Since February I have been making necessary surveys preparatory to start- 
ing construction and expect to begin construction by the first of the year. 
Recently this contract has been combined with the next one east. This 
makes this work include a sixteen foot lift lock of concrete, eleven bridges, 
spillway, guard gate, hydraulic power house, etc., beside the prism work 
on the fourteen miles length of contract including two deep cuts (75 and 
90 ft.) near Xewark. 

I have full charge of this work under the resident engineer at Lyons 
and have my office in Palmyra at present but since the enlargement of the 

108 



contract to include Newark there is quite a possibility that this office will 
be moved to Newark later. This work will cost nearly $3,000,000 and will 
require nearly three years to complete. 

We are keeping house here (25 miles from Rochester) and will always 
hang out the latch key for any 1907 man that will come to see us and hope 
to welcome some of you into our home some time soon. 

Here's to Princeton and 1907 may their spirits live forever.

My Dear Classmates, 

Is it possible? Have seven years rolled by since we won the camum 
rush in the &11 of 1903. The thoa^t is sorely startling. 

To me the world that we sang would be so cold has been most cordial 
and interesting. I have spent the last three years in the vicinity of Auburn 
State Prison — ^I was always outside — ^It was so full they really hadn't any 
room for me — ^I have crossed our big country four times — One summer I 
spent in Or^on, forly miles from a railroad, three miles from the ocean 
engaged in Home Mission work — A beautiful girl visited the spot for part of 
the summer and I became engaged in more home mission work. Do you 
wonder that when I received a flattering offer to come to Seattle and 
build t^ a church that I at once was glad to accept? 

This is the best part of the world — ^Talk about fruit — ^The watermelons 
are so big that one of them I heard rolled down a lull and breaking against 
a house, smashed the house and drowned the people in it 

Seattle is positively the finest dty I ever saw — Talk about beauty and 
Hf e — Even Philadelphia is slower. 

Our Princeton men rank well out here. 

I have found the calling that suits ~e zes: ^nd beheve me, fellows, it*s 
-n-orth all the money in Whll Street, to ;' rt some down and out fellow, 
and feed hungry souls with the Bread of Life. Here is my toast to 1907 — 
Best success and long Ufe to every man in it

After teaching for three years, first at Syracuse, N. Y., and for the 
past two years at the Mountain School for Boys, located at Allaben, X. Y., 
in the Catskills, I have come back to this good old college town to attend 
the Seminary. My first year after graduation was spent in tutoring a 
wealthy fellow for Williams College and in taking some work at Syracuse 
University in the department of History. The next two years were busy

ones at regular school work preparing boys for Princeton and other col- 
leges. The work was very pleasant, but my desire to come here was strong 
enough to bring me to the Seminary, and I can honestly say that I have 
never enjoyed the place so much as I do now, nor have I ever found any 
work so interesting. When any '07 men come to Princeton I hope that 
they will drop around in this part of town and see their old '07 friends in 
the Seminary.

My Dear Breck, 

My experiences in the last three years have not been very numerous for 
I have been doing only one thing since I became a grad., and that is studying 
medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York and am 
now in my fourth year. Fred Ailing and Austin Hobbs are in the same 
class. In spite of the crowded hours, I have managed to attend the '07 
class dinners in New York each year and to get down to the old burg every 
June for our Reunion, and that's not bad for a medical student. With 
best wishes. 

Most sincerely, 

Daniel R. Robert.

Cit>. 
b 2215 Xo. i8th St., Philadelphia, Pa. 
Stage director for Cohan & Harris. 

Immediately after graduation, I taught for a few months in the Central 
High School of Philadelphia. Soon Delirium Tremens and hysteria set in, 
and I knew I was not cut out for an information bureau in the dead 
languages. I then produced some of the plays which our alma mater had the 
ner\-e to resurrect in the five-foot shelf library of self culture — ^the self 
culture permeating neighboring colleges — I don't mean Rutgers, but Wil- 
liams et al. Then followed a year and a half as assistant general stage 
director for Charles Dillingham, of New York — a thorough training for the 
production of musical comedy in every department. 

Last summer I became associated with the Cohen and Harris forces 
and took THE FORTUNE HUNTER on the road, as the stage director. 
I am still associated with the same company, after a season of thirty-six 
consecutive weeks in Chicago. 

]VIy immediate plans are to remain with this company, under the man- 
agement of Cohan and Harris, and at the same time develop some pre- 
conceived notion that I can write a play. I may say that it is written, and 
is now in the hands of the director of the New Theatre. I am also collabor- 
ating with Frederic Hatton, Dramatic critic for the CHICAGO E\rENING 
POST, and formerly a Princeton graduate student. 

My three years of theatrical life have been replete with imusual ex- 
periences — those of a neophyte in a new world. I find the usual run of 
managers and actors do not understand the college man, except as a 
support for chorus ^rls and a means of breaking up performances while 
under the influence of some intoxicant The manager is leery about the 
college man, especially. He thinks the college man has learned above every- 
thing, the ultimate source of all knowledge, and has devoured it In other 
words, the college man knows too much. So, one has to swallow his pride 
and the fact that he is the son of his alma mater, many times, in his effort 
to prove to the insistent manager that underneath the he-Pucked and be- 
Judged type of college exterior, there still lurks something of a real man — 
a man who can and will work hard to learn the atmosphere of a world that 

112 




seems unreal at two-bones a throw, and very real at the Sign of the Paint 
and Powder.

Dear Breck, 

My "doings" to date are as follows : After graduation I went abroad 
for the summer, and returned in the fall to take up work as secretary of 
the Y. M. C. A. at Williams College. I had a splendid year there, and can 
bear witness to the warm regard which Williams has for Princeton and 
Princeton men. The summers of 1908 and 1909 I spent in Labrador work- 
ing in connection with Dr. Grenfell's Mission there. At first I formed one of 
a crew of three on a small schooner which we took along the Newfoundland 
shore to get supplies for the hospital at St. Anthony. 

The second summer I had charge of a small church at Forteau, on the 
Straits of Belle Isle, and also had command of a kerosene launch which I 
used to go along the coast in, giving talks to the people on prevention of 
tuberculosis. Meanwhile I had decided to go into the ministry and was 
spending the winters at work in Union Theological Seminary New York. 
This year I am at the Episcopal Theological School at Cambridge, Mass., 
where I hope to graduate next June. Last summer saw the best piece of 
luck which has ever befallen me, in that I got married to a very much 
better half. We are living at ZZ Kirkland St., Cambridge, Mass., and the 
latch string is out for any and all of the good old class who happen along 
this way. 

Ever sincerely yours, 

John Nevin Sayre.

My Dear Breck, 

Your circular and follow-up card duly received and I hasten to dust off 
my very best apology, inclosing it to you herewith. And by the way I will 
be much interested in noting later on how many of these biographical 
exposes cut their introductions from the same pattern. The truth is I 
have tried vainly during the past day or two to imagine something that 
would entitle me to any further valuable space on your official class blotter. 

In trying to recall any particularly worthy incident, I am surprised in 
the first place to realize that three full years have actually rolled around 
since the good days when First Mate Lewman, Purser Zahniser and Sea- 
Cook Wells were sailing with the crew. 

Yet a good deal has happened in its quiet sort of way. The first year 
was spent in taking on a lot of general experience in the different depart- 
ments of a busy little manufacturing plant. The last two years in getting 
still further experience with the firm I've mentioned above. I like to dwell 
on the experience side, because although the wolf has charitably passed my 
door thus far, I must admit frankly that after careful consideration I have 
decided to postpone retirement for at least one more year. 

In all frankness, too, there is one more confession, and that is that 
without a question the best times I've had during these three years have 
been on occasions of reunion with other members of that crew — the three 

114 



y

large cruises to Tigertown and innumerable shorter little runs around these 
Middle Western States. 

For the most part everything has been smooth sailing. Of course now 
and then a little settlement with the Eli members of our office staff, which 
hasn't been altogether the pleasantest. I would have much preferred that it 
went to Heyward McAlpin, but as I said, for the most part all's well and 
no breakers ahead. 

Am looking forward to next June when we'll all be gathering in once 
more, and in the meantime, as Spook would say, my very personal regards 
to you and every other faithful follower of Nellie, the Bonniest Camel that 
ever Graced a Reunion Tent! 

Sincerely yours, 

Donald Scott.

Dear Breck, 

The way that wedding announcements keep coming in makes it look

cost of living gives us all a good excuse for our single course of life. Am 
still pulling, an oar on the old galley "Brown Bros. & Co.," and although

Dear Classmates, 

A year's illness delayed my entrance into a legal career after gradu- 
ation. I am therefore a year behind the average 1907 man in graduating 
from law school. My future is very unsettled and I can only say that 
this June I shall graduate, and locate to practice my chosen profession 
where the country needs me most. With best wishes for success to all.

CLYDE FULLER SMITH 

a b Islington, Mass. 

Student in Mass. Institute of Technology. 

My Dear Breck, 

Mine has been a very hum-drum existence since graduating. 

In September 1907 I took charge of the booking department of the 
Boston office of the Postal Telegraph Cable Co, Taking charge consisted 
mainly in trying to keep four young ladies iDUsy and in trying (with a 
big accent on the trying) to keep them from fighting. I might mention that 
there was also a fellow under me but as he was very peaceable he caused 
me no trouble. After two years of this very wearing work I entered the 
Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a second year student in Sanitary 
Engineering and began to find out what work means. I managed to pull 
throug'h the year without any accidents and hope to do the same this year 
and next. As I go through the Institute I can't help comparing my sur- 
roundings with what they used to be at Princeton and every day I appreciate 

117 



i 



^ 



more and more what "going through" Princeton means. At the Institute 
it is all work. There is little interest taken in college affairs and while 
they talk about Tech "Spirit" I have yet to know exactly what it consists 
of. The students are there to get all they can for their money and little 
do they realize what they lose in things that go to make college life worth 
while and which made our four years sojourn in Princeton such a memory 
of delight. 

Hoping to see the class in 1912 at the Fifth Reunion (for I am afraid 
that circumstances will prevent my getting to Princeton before then), I am, 
One of the Great and Glorious Class of 1907, 

Clyde F. Smith. 
Islington, Mass., November 3, 1910. 
(An afterthought). 

It may interest the class to know that last year, the matter of inaugu- 
rating an Honor System was dicsussed at the Institute. I found that the 
only objection that was brought up was that the fellows declared that they 
would not tell if they caught other fellows cheating. Naturally with such a 
feeling as that the matter was voted down by a large majority and probably 
will not be agitated for a long time again.

Dear Breck, 

I've been waiting to receive this notice from you, inasmuch as your 
Harvard address was mislaid in the scramble when I moved from St. 

118 



Louis to New York, the general confusion that is always incident to such 
a migration simply resulted in my being thrown out of every opportunity 
for getting into communication with the members of the famous old 
Dreadnaugtit Class. 

I'm very sorry not to be able to add anything at all to the "mortuary" 
statistics. That's what they look like to me but saw Fats Lewman the other 
day and learned from him that 1907 had made a great record in that 
branch of human progress. He said that 217 of the crew were already in 
the holy bonds. Is this true — if so does it count second or third trips to 
the altar? 



Very sincerely, 

LoN C. Smith.

Since I returned to Philadelphia the city is slowly drifting toward 
democracy. I was elected President of the Democratic Club in the Uni- 
versity during the Bryan campaign in 1908, and by hard and earnest preach- 
ing from the tailboard of a wagon, I think we managed to sow some good 
Democratic seed. The next year I ran for City Councils on the Fusion 
ticket but most of that seed must have fallen by the wayside. We weren't 
beaten to a frazzle, though, by any means, and my grip on the graft seemed 
so close that I got married and took a trip to Europe to see if there was 
any government worse than Philadelphia — I didn't find one. 

If anybody wants to know, tell him, I am still for Bryan.

Dear Classmates, 

This idea of writing a letter for the Triennial Record is no pipe. When 
a fellow leaves college and works hard for three years, not short years like 
they were in college but long years, and sticks to the same job (not position) 
he hasn't much of a variety show to display. But now the results of hard 
labor are beginning to show themselves for in the spring I am going to 
join the realm of the loafers. I am going to enter into the contracting 
business. The only thing about that that worries me is the fact that I am 
a Princeton man and so must be honest. That is hard for a contractor they 
tell me. But that "being good" business I can leave with my wife who is a 
new addition to the class of 1907. 

There seems to be no more news for me to deliver to the Triennial 
o ril call this off.

Dear Breck, 

After three months of coaching the Union College football team during 
the fall of graduation year I located in New York with the bond 
house. Kissel Kinnicutt & Co. After working a year in the office I was 
sent on the road to sell bonds. I had mighty good success and after two 
years at this I received an offer to act as Secretary of the Syracuse Trust Co. 
I feel as if I am indeed fortunate in securing a position as an officer in 
such a bank and feel that if I can seize my opportunity, my field for ad- 
vancement is not limited. 

Wishing you and the boys of 1907 the best of luck, I am. 

Sincerely, 
Harral S. Tenney.

Dear Henry, 

Here's a brief sketch of what and whom I've done since I left the 



7, 



old burg. I've been engaged for a year to Miss Eda C. Berger of Roxbury, 
Mass., and have lived in the usual mass of rose-tinted clouds for the same 
period. Since graduation I have been a student of the simplest kind at the 
School of Mines, Columbia University, and expect to get a degree of Min- 
ing Engineer in February. This last summer I spent in Utah and Colorado 
on a mining trip. I am a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity, 
which numbers four other Princeton men among its members. I'm counting 
on somebody being foolish enough to give me a job in February, and that 
means that I leave this part of the country and live in the WIest, Central 
America, Mexico, or some other insect-infested hole for a number of 
years. I shall take my vacations in June, if possible, in order to be present 
at as many spring reunions as I can. So far I've attended midwinter re- 
unions with great regularity, and have been kept away from the "big times" 
in June by the requirements of my Mining course with equally great regu- 
larity. Here's the best of luck to you, Henry, and a hearty greeting to all the 
fellows, individually and collectively, in good old '07. 

Yours sincerely. 

Tommy Thomas.

a Kenton, Ohio. 

b 94 Prescott St., Cambridge, Mass. 
Student in the Harvard Law School. 

The three years since graduation have not afforded for me much material 
with which to weave any story of great interest. The first year was spent in 
Cambridge at the Harvard Law School and the presence and contact of other 
members of the class of 1907 helped to keep alive the common interest in 
Princeton and afforded an opportunity to exchange memories of college days. 
Breckinridge and myself during this year undertook to assist Charley Deems 
in the management of a House for Sailors, located on the water front in East 
Boston, and during our short stay there had much enjoyment in meeting 
the various types of "ancient mariners" and also gained a knowledge of the 
lives led by the common stokers on the large ocean liners. 

The next year was spent by myself in managing a grain elevator in a 
small town in Northwestern Ohio and wringing from the patient and un- 
complaining farmer the profits of his year's toil. I might say that many 
of them owned automobiles and some of them several. 

The following year I returned to the law school and am now in my 
third and final year here. Bob Landis, who has upheld his reputation in 

123 



/ 



scholarship by winning one of the two Langdell scholarships of $575 each, and 
I am working together this year. The Princeton contingent is increasing in 
numbers each year and smokers are frequent. We had a 1907 dinner last 
year and the year before and expect to have another this year. 

I wish to state for the benefit of other members of the class that I think 
the class secretary with whom I roomed during my first two years here is 
entitled to additional credit in compiling the class records so well, as he 
was forced while here to combine law, class work and courtship, the com- 
bination of which all will agree makes a stiff proposition.

Dear Breck, 

Your postal reminded me that the letter I wrote on the blank was lost 
the day they cleaned up my desk in order to put up curtains. You may not be 
able to see the connection, but I assure you there is a very real one. 

I am living at home with my family, am not married, or engaged. The 
reason for all that is, that my pay as an English instructor at Erasmus Hall 
High School, Brooklyn, precludes any other possibility. 

Since June 1907, I have had a rather mixed up career, going from business 
to teaching in the Fall of that fateful year aforementioned. I have also done 
some studying at Columbia, but that is really negligible. 

Erasmus Hall is nearly twice as big as Princeton in members ; possesses, 
beside, a very good school spirit and Larsen '07 as football coach. He is 
turning out a good team. They have local words to Joe Hewitt's "Cannon 
Song," which always sounds good. 

My nearest Princeton neighbor is Art. Walsh, who is married and living 
very happily in a very artistic Spanish mission around the corner from my 
home. Mrs. Walsh is a fine hostess, as many of the '07 fellows know by ex- 
perience. 

Outside of my work, I spend my time as most people do, I guess. My 
only honors, so far, are those of vestryman and parish clerk of the Church 
of the Holy Spirit, Brooklyn. They keep me busy part of the time on the 
Parish Paper board, and the rest of the time on the Financial Committee. 
From this experience I am able to sympathize with any unfortunate, like your- 
self, who has to gather material from elusive and neglectful folk, such as 
members of Princeton 1907. 

Wishing you luck in life and in the book and hoping to see you in 
Princeton on Nov. 12, 

As ever, 

Vale.

Trenton, N,, J., October 7, 1910 
My Dear Beck, 

My letter should not take up very much space, for since graduation, my 
life has not been an especially exciting one. When I left Princeton I fully 
intended to take up teaching, but, luckily, soon gave up this idea and in the 
fall of 1907, entered the Columbia Law School. I stayed there for three years, 
making the Law Review during my course, and graduated with the degree of 
LL.B. in June 1910. 

I had previously been registered in an office in Trenton and upon my gradu- 
ation immediately commenced work there. Under the laws of New Jersey, at 
least one and one-half years of actual clerkship is required in an office, and 
my period does not expire until February 191 1, at which time, I will be able 
to take my attorney's examinations. 

At present, I am living in Princeton and doing a lovely little commuting 
tour, back and forth on the Johnston Trolley, every day. Hoping that 
you are taking good care of yourself, and that you get together the best 
record ever, I am 

Yours, 

Bill Vande water.

"Happy is the nation which has no history." 

The above approximates a quotation by somebody, who, they say, knew 
what he was talking about. If it is true it applies to the individual as well as 
to the nation. Hence, I must be happy. At any rate, I refuse to waste the 
time of the class by submitting my unexciting biography since June 1907. 

However, in order to assist in burying our Secretary under the avalanche 
of near philosophy which he is undoubtedly receiving at this time for the 
Record, I give you here the three most vivid impressions handed me by the 
wide, wide world during the past three yars. If there is something! 
about them whcih seems familiar, they wont command your admiration, but 
may get your sympathy. 

I. The cost of living certainly has gone up. The greatest single advance 

125 



1 



since June 1907 was when somebody in the family remarked that he began 
to pay board as soon as he left college. I followed suit. 

2. Breaking altitude records in an aeroplane is a cinch compared to 
reaching the top of the ladder of success. 

3. While slowly recovering from the catastrophe occasioned by the visit 
of the Elis to Princeton on Saturday last, I am persuaded that we are about 
to reverse the chronology- of the seven fat and seven lean years, for, having 
suffered the latter, we are now about to enter upon the prosperity and plentj- 
of the former. As a Princeton grad. remarks in the Newark Evening News 
of November 15, 1910: — 

SONG FROM A BREAKING HEART 

For years I've filled this column here 
With pleasant words of hope and cheer 
For years I've done my level best 
To comfort, aid and interest. 
And yearh% confident, but pale, 
I've told myself the same old tale, — 
"This year the Tiger will beat Yale." 

The years roll by, each like the last, 

Till seven lean j^ears have drifted past. 

And still I do my level best 

In quip and paragraph and jest; 

And, though m}- frame is growing frail 

I still recite that hopeful tale, — 

''This year the Tiger will beat Yale." 

I cannot keep it up for long. 
This thing of pouring forth mj- song 
To cheer and animate the rest, 
The while mj- heart within my breast 
Is breaking. — Still I'll not bewail. 
Methinks, unless the signs all fail. 
Next year the Tiger will beat Yale !

Dear Breck, 

I cannot say that my experiences since leaving Princeton have been 
very varied. Three years at Columbia Law School will cover nearly every- 
thing. While there I had the good fortune to be elected to the editorial 
staff of the Columbia Law Review. I was a member of the board for two 
years, serving part of the time as editor in charge of the Recent Decision 
department. Lon Bissell '04 was editor-in-chief and Bill Vandewater was 

127 



i 



also on the board, so you see we had quite a httle Princeton party. I was 
also elected president of the graduating class. 

The first two summers after leaving college I spent in Wisconsin in some 
engineering construction work which one of my brothers was carrying on 
there and had a mighty good time. The summer of 1909 found me on a farm 
in the Delaware valley, Pennsylvania, where another brother and I "batched" 
it for a couple of months. Last summer as you perhaps remember I took 
a trip to Europe, visiting parts of Italy, Switzerland, Germany and France, 
and returning to start work on the 29th of August. Since that time I could 
almost believe myself a freshman again — greener than grass is no name 
for it. 

Best of luck to you Breck. I suppose I will have to wait until the 
Record comes out to hear what you have been doing. 

Yours sincerely, 
Edward W. Walker.

estate. 

Dear Breck, 

In beginning this letter I hardly know where to start. My career — oh 
you career ! ! — to date has been a varied one. I, like many others, have been 
peripatetic. I have changed three times. I started out with the Crucible 
Steel Company and thought I was going to set the world on fire, but the 
conflagration never took place and I made a change. The grand old man, 
Jim Martin, with whom I was living, saw great things ahead of me with his 
concern. The Hungerford Brass and Copper Company, so through his able 
assistance I was placed as a stock clerk. I wasn't a success here and was 
fired. My next endeavor was with a pink-tea bank — The Hong Kong & 
Shanghai Banking Corporation as Assistant Cashier. Here I learned how 
to drink tea and a few eastern cities I had never before heard of. They 
treated me slick here, but this wasn't my fort, so when the opportunity 
came I jumped into the real estate business, where I am at present and 
expect to stay. I like it, and if success comes to me, I'll like it better. 
I am with an office that specializes in the mortgage end of the business. 
I am an outside man. My work consists in securing applications for loans 
and also trying to place them among lawyers and institutions. It is a 
fascinating and interesting business, and all I can say is "I like it." So 
much for business. 

My Hfe in New York has indeed been a pleasant one. I have existed 
but the existence has been made bearable by the students who have been 
with me. Jim Martin and I started rooming together and soon Lou 
Doyle — Death, as Jim used to call him — came with us. We sure had good 

128 



times! Then "Fritzi" Schaff came into the fold and Dick Cook and Stew 
Wells. With this bunch I lived for two years, and consequently Princeton 
and '07 never had a chance to get away from me. Oh, I forgot one other 
student who was with us until he went West — little Johnnie Kerper. It's 
an old saying you never know men until you live with them," and it's true. I 
found these men out and I'm glad I did, because they are all princes — believe 
me, and I know. 

One by one they drifted away and I hooked up with Hunt Worth and 
his brother and Rube Robbins '11. I am still with them. I don't know how 
long they'll stand me, but I'm still stickin'." 

One thing I realized and it was this. I did not know how long I was 
destined to be in this big city, and I concluded that I would take advantage 
of the opportunities afforded. I cultivated the art galleries and studied and 
learned a little about art and pictures. I had a chance to "supe" in the 
opera and I murdered this chance by going sixty-four times. I wish I 
had time to relate some of the experiences I had — they might prove inter- 
esting. Being fond of music I cultivated my love and I am very glad I did. 
i stood "in right" with the man who had charge of the "supes" and was 
able to take any of the '07 men who cared to go. Ask Dug Halsted or Jim 
Martin to tell you about their experiences in Aida. 

I am studying law at the New York Law School in the evening and 
like it very much. I get a satisfaction out of it — a feeling of something 
accomplished each day — which is very gratfying to a contented mind. I 
wish I had not procrastinated until the last moment, because I have many 
things to say which, in a hurried letter like this, I cannot say. 

To sum up I realize today how little I know and the hard knocks and 
reverses I have had make me sanguine and hopeful of the future. My 
best regards to you, Breck, and all the fellows. I hope never to miss another 
reunion. It was a sore disappointment to me when I couldn't make the 
Triennial. Here's to the best of classes — 1907. 

Sincerely, 

Geo. H. Walker, Jr.

Dear Fellows : 

When "Breck" asks a chap to write a three-years' retrospect, he "pulls a 
job off on him that makes "Casey's" situation look as rosey as that of 
the "asbestos dog," But here goes for a "Jimco'oney" grip on the bat, and 
the first chance for the much-needed single. 

It seems to me that a good many studes have an idea that when they 
emerge from the collegiate delights, the business world should welcome them 
just like Farmer and Mrs. Jones do the young, wealthy and desirable 
"Duke of Chicago," whose Fifth Avenue eye has spotted the pretty daughter. 
Some of us there were — if we are willing to confess it — who thought 
that there were business firms who could make superb use of us for an 
advertisement, or in the secret of the director's room put the entire staff 
of salesmen on to the latest tricks in bridge. Or if we were needed along 
engineering lines — "to produce the goods" — we could earn Pittsburg salaries 
by imparting to the superintendent of the plant the mystic ingredients of a 
"Seventy-nine Punch." Maybe there were some of us who thought this, 
but I trust that I had little company in the idea. Anyway, it took but a 
short time to see the mistake of "My Policy." It's a queer world, but 
to get along it seems one must really be able to pull off the proper trick, 
flow and then. So with me it's been work — work all day, "Yes, sir" to my 
superiors— just like a Freshman — and then come home at night to try to 
acquire from books, etc., some of the knowledge that "the boss" in "his 
infinite wisdom" has forgotten. 

As to pleasures, the biggest pleasure I'm anticipating is what Eddie Hart 
and the students should perpertrate next Saturday. And if "Fats" Lewman's 
"Oh, Lord, let John DeWitt kick that goal" would help — as it seemed to — I'm 
willing to organize a prayer meeting till the whistle blows. 

As to sorrows, and disappointments, we've all had them, but I'm glad 
to say that I know some of the finest boys in the world, and if the time 
ever should come when I really needed them, they'd be there. 

As for the women, you know what Edmund Day says : "Nobody wants 
a fat man anyway" — or a little one. So, for the present, "Laura Jean and 
her dearies" are still waiting for the call-boy, and I'm philanderin' with all 
the maiden aunts and divorced grandmothers. 

With very best wishes for success and hopes for pardon for these three 
pages of fippery — and good luck to all you fellows. 

Very sincerely; 
(Piggy) Wm. S. Ward.

For the information of the Record I will say that I am now twenty-

letterhead appears above. I have been practicing about two years, and have 
so far kept out of the poorhouse and jail. Am also Secretary and Treasurer

I was not a candidate for a degree there, but took special work. This is the

Dear Breck : 

Your postcard came a da}- or two ago, and made me feel ashamed of 
myself. As you say the least I can do is to send in my statistics and that, 
compared with the big job on your hands, seems damned little. Please 
forgive my negligence and donot construe it as lack of support. Certainly 
every man in the class appreciates what you are doing, and is grateful. 

I held on to your old blank as long as possible in the hope, maybe, 
of slipping in an answer somewhere, but finally I had to jab in the "No's" 
and let it go at that. It seems to me that marriage and its consequences 
take an undue prominence in your scheme of things. You discourage those of 
us who, having buried our talents, have no vital statistics to report. If I 
had been doing any multiplying, you would have heard from me long since. 

After a year at Merv\'ick and another spent abroad with President E. 
O. Lovett studying foreign universities and educational institutions generally, 
I am with him here in Houston where he is engaged in organizing the 
William M. Rice Institute for the Advancement of Literature, Science and 
Art upon a ten million dollar foundation. 

That I did not get back to the Reunion was a great disappointment to 
me. Texas is a long way from Princeton. 

I hope everything is well with you and the Record. Here's looking 
at you! 

As ever,

in not being able to give a good account of myself along the matrimonial line. 
However, those of us who are heart whole and fancy free can cheer up 
for, so far as I know, neither the handsome man or the pretty man of the 
class has succeeded in convincing some fair one that he is the only only. 
You probably agree with everybody else that clothes do not make the man, 
but I take the opposite view, especially when it comes to matrimony ; for look 
at our best dressed man, hasn't he gone and done it? My degrees are few 
and far between, but I assure you that it was no fault of mine, and I hope 
to do better in the years to come, when I hope to annex an R every year. 
Can you mention any better degree than the one obtained by attending

Dear Studes : 

The story of my life since that momentous day in June, 1907, is very 
uneventful and contains little that would be of interest to the class at large. 
I have gained neither fame, fortune nor a wife, yet on the whole have lived 
a pretty good time and am not entirely discouraged yet. Shortly after com- 
mencement I started to work for Whitelaw Sons, a firm dispensing chemicals, 
heavy drugs and laundry supplies, besides a small line of paint and oil. 
After serving a term in the stock room and shipping department, was made 
a salesman, and now spend about half of my time on the road, penetrating 
the inner-most parts of Illinois and Missouri, and ready to take orders for 
anything from a wooden collar button to a car of caustic soda. 

It seemed tough to have to have to miss our great reunion last June, but 
I've begun already to anticipate our next, and shall certainly try my best to 
be aboard before the gang plank is drawn in. 

With best wishes for each and everyone of the finest class Princeton 
ever had. I am, 

Yours, 

Hamilton D. Whitelaw.

In addition to filling out the blank relative to occupation, I enclose here-

company is a sales agency for New River coal, the largest market for which 
is New England. I am trying to sell this product to the Yankees. I presume 
you could classify me as a salesman, although I feel at times that the title 
is unmerited. The Seaboard Transportation Co. works in connection with the

Unaccustomed as I am to long distance 'phoning, I shall write you a 
few lines. I can hardly wait until the "Record" comes out. I know 
Cockran will write one of his funny letters and I'm very anxious to read 
it and also to find out if he has named any of his good looking children 
after me — I hope not, I'm sure. 

One of the interesting things I expect to do in the course of the next 
few days will be to slip up to Williamsport to witness "Ben Hur,"and of 
course while there, will visit the great 1907 mascot. On my return I will 
advise you if the camel is in extreme good health, and will return to the

the face. Help ! After leaving Princeton I was in Cripple Creek, Colo., 
for about two months. "Dutch" Cranmer '07 was there at the same time. 

After leaving there I started a course at University of Michigan, but 
left when the year was half over. My next try for a diploma was at 
Universit}- of Buffalo in the School of Pharmac}-. I graduated from there in 
1908 and have been on the job here ever since.

Bradford: Ray Sanderson '05, Xewt. Cass '09, Felix Klein '06, and "Buzz"

had several little Princeton banquets this year. 

Life aroimd here is about the same as any other town, with the exception 
perhaps of good trout fishing and fair hunting. As ever,

It is a good thing you are so near at hand to prod me up a bit, or 
perhaps I would never get to the point of airing my doings since 1907 for 
the information and entertainment of my classmates. Three years is rather 
a short time in which to cook up a career, and I've been one of those rolling 
stones that are said to gather no moss, though I never could see what good 
moss was to a stone, or an}-thing else, not even a moss-back. 

I stood my ground at Princeton the summer we graduated, trying to sell 
lots in a Long Island Beach Development, and also to remedy the mortfying 
circumstance of having to say '"Xo" to the "Are you engaged?" question 
in the statistic blank. I failed in the former effort (hard lot!) but suc- 
ceeded better in the latter, perhaps because my heart was in it.

Having failed to make a living for one, I proceeded New York ward 
in the fall, ambitious to make a living for two — sort a "double or quit" style, 
don't you know. For a short time I tried to pick up the law at the New 
York Law School, then began to lay it down to pupils in the city high schools, 
bringing to the latter task all the enthusiasm of a thorough hater of the 
job. Needless to say, I was a pronounced success; loud were the lamenta- 
tions of pupils and supervisors — none louder than my own — when I laid down 
the task in the spring to accept a position with double the hours and half 
the pay with the National Biscuit Co. It was another case of double or quit, 
but I needed the "dough," and where could there be more than in the 
largest bakery in the world. I soon got familiar enough with cakes to call 
them by their first names and gained some valuable business experience. 

By July 3, 1908, I knew enough to steal out of town to Hightstown, N. J., 
and there, amidst the blowing of horns, waving of flags and firing of 
cannon, next day gave up that precious independence for which our fathers 
bled and died. It sounds like a common trick, and it is, especially among my 
classmates, if one can judge by the rate the announcements are rolling in. 

After a brief residence in Brooklyn, we (the matrimonial "we," not the 
editorial, mark you!) took up our abode at our present residence in Bal- 
timore. Doubling once more, I attempted both to manage a milk distributing 
plant for my father and to take the law course at the University of Mary- 
land. I got my "dip" and qualified for the bar this summer, and am now 
busy ferreting out the puzzling points of my first case. It has been a hard 
steady pull in all respects, but thanks to perfect teamwork, the game has been 
good and well-worth the playing. I trust that you and all members of the 
class have had the same or a greater measure of genuine happiness and 
contentment. 

The cricket on the hearth, i. e., the best of good-natured babies, is 
calling, and it's my duty as well as my pleasure to go. 

Cordially, your classmate, 

Wooden.

Dear Breck, 

Your letter contained the first request I've ever had for an autobiog- 
raphy and until another Class Record comes along, I hope it will be the 
last It is hard to tell what one has done when one hasn't done anything, but 
as my little epistle will be stuck down near the end of the book I won't 
attempt to work this up as though my financial future depended upon its 
being one of the ten best sellers. As I want to know what the other 1907 
men are doing, I suppose it is only fair that I put myself on paper as 
well as I can. 

The loving-cup song was still ringing in our ears when Jim Martin, Tom 
Durell and I, on June 15, 1907, sailed on the Atlantic Transport Liner 
"Minnehaha" as cattlemen. After a voyage far less terrible than our 
stay-at-home friends had pictured, we landed in London, where Tom left us 
to pursue his journeys, with another friend, on the train, while Jim and 
I bought a pair of bicycles and started on a tour of inspection of European 
town and country life. Our route took us from London to Paris, Marseilles, 
Genoa, Milan, Venice, the Austrian Tyrol, Switzerland and the Rhine 
Valley, almost to Cologne. There were stretches of mountainous country 
which required the assistance of the railway but by the time we sold our 
wheels our cyclometer registered 1581 miles. Returning by train to London, 
we spent a week in Ireland and sailed for Manhattan Island on September 
7th. When we landed in New York we found that our very enjoyable 
summer wasn't worth two cents on Broadway and the struggle for ex- 
istence began. 

My experiences since then might be described as the "short and simple 
annals of the poor". The chase of the elusive but all-necessary dollar has 
led me into several different lines. The history of men who have succeeded 
from such beginnings didn't help me enjoy the distinction of my first job, 
practically that of an office boy in a dry goods commission house, with 
corresponding pay. After a few months I graduated to a most congenial 
position in the correspondence department of the American Book Co., and 
there I lasted for a year and a half. But in August 1909 I found Heyward 
McAlpin and Class Reunions and other such necessities and joys of life — 
begging Heyward's pardon — took so much of my spare cash that I took up 
a new line of work in a fire insurance office. A year of that experience 
put me in line for my present work in liability insurance, which I took up 
August 1st, 1910. I am now located in Reading, Pa., at a branch office of 
the Travelers Insurance Co., but my work takes me over the eastern part 
of Pennsylvania. I have located several oases in this new territory in the 
shape of '07 men and if any others should happen to settle down here, I'd 
be glad to know about it, for I know of nothing more enjoyable than an 
occasional bicker with some good fellow of Princeton's greatest class. 

I have been very fortunate in being able to attend every class dinner 
and reunion and in making frequent trips to Princeton and as long as 
I am within reasonable distance of the old burg I hope to keep up this 
record. 

I didn't mean to write so much, Breck, when I started out, but I sup-

pose you will look upon an oversupply of material with more favor than 
you will upon a lot of more statistics. I certainly wish you every success 
in getting out our Third Year Book and will look forward eagerly to the 
time when it is published and I can read how 1907 has gone out and made 
the world know that we are on the job. 

Yours very sincerely, 

GUS WUERTH.

CARL ZEISS 

a 914 Royal Ins. Bldg., Chicago, 111. 
b 505 Craigie Hall, Cambridge, !Mass. 
Law student in the Harvard Law School. 

To My Fellow Members of the Class of 1907, 

The summer following graduation I spent loafing at home in the 
country near Chicago, at Everett, Lake Co., 111. In the fall I entered 
Northwestern Law School, and completed a pleasant and profitable year 
there. Much to my pleasure Harry Johnson of our class entered at the 
same time and we saw much of each other during the year. 

The summer of 1908 I again loafed at Everett but about the first of 
September I went out to Montana with a couple of fellows and spent Sep- 
tember hunting in the mountains near Ovando in the Western part of the 
state. 

I returned to Northwestern in October and attended lectures until 
Christmas. Instead of continuing law work after Christmas I had the good 
fortune to accompany my mother and father on a trip abroad. We sailed 
from New York January 7, 1909. The night before sailing George Keeney 
and I had a small but enjoyable reunion and he saw us off at the dock the 
next day. I was away in all nearly six months and during that time saw 
a little of most of the countries of Europe, and spent a great two weeks in 
Cairo, Egypt. I met Doc. Freeman by mere chance in Berlin and we sat at 
various tables together Unter Den Linden. 

After enjoying the month of May in England, we sailed for home the 
5th of June on the Atlantic Transport Line steamer Minnehaha. 

Deciding to make up if possible for lost time, I entered the summer 
quarter of the University of Chicago Law School. After a short vacation 
during September I started work again at Chicago in October but as I was 
not in very good health I had to quit it after a week or so. I went then 
up into northern Minnesota and stayed there until Christmas time — hunt- 
ing and taking it easy. After Christmas I took up law work again at 
Chicago and went through till last June. 

This last summer I have been at home in Everett doing a little farming, 
raising some stock and playing some golf and tennis. The end of August I 
went to Portage Lake, Mich., and passed a wonderful two weeks visiting 
Larry IMarsh. September 26th I took the train for Boston and am now in- 
stalled here at Harvard Law School for my last year of law work. 

With all good wishes to you I am, 

Sincerely yours, 

Carl Zeiss.

SPECIAL LETTERS 

Constantinople, Turkey, Sept. 24, 1910. 
Dear Gus : 

At this distance I am in some doubt as to what you would like 
to have me write about, and if it were possible would gladly have 
the few ranges of mountains and the bit of sea between you and me 
disappear for a few days to let me get into touch with what you are 
all thinking about and what you would like to hear. 

The Revolution of one year ago so ably effected by the young 
Turks under the leadership of Mahmoud Chevket Pasha has left 
the government in the hands of the new liberal party. In some 
quarters it passes as fairly unstable, but at the present moment it 
looks as if they were strengthening their hands. I made a trip 
into Asia Minor to learn all I could about the status of the young 
Turks there and found a rather surprising condition. All that 
ancient district is conservative, fanatically so, and practically to a 
man would welcome the return of the 'late-lamented' commander of 
the Faithful, now a prisoner in a villa at Salonica with the few of his 
four hundred lovely dears that he was permitted to take with him. 
But inside the walls of Constantinople, and this happens to be the 
place that counts, the majority is very large for the young Turks. 
You may see that the situation is very interesting. 

They have established a parliament after the model, largely, 
of that of France, where the Young Turks received in part the^r 
education and their inspiration. Achmet Riza Bey is for the time 
being president of the Lower House, and being a man of no very 
great political experience, the House is being conducted in a rather 
boisterous manner. Through the kindness of a member, I was 
able to be present at a session and had the various speeches trans- 
lated for me from Turkish into English. Ex-Premier Clemenceau 
would find in the Turkish Parliament a particularly striking instance 
of his recently published opinion that Parliaments are unorganized 
affairs and badly run. He might have found it even more difficult 
to run this one than he did the French. 

The Arab delegation wastes no very great amount of affection 
on the Turkish members, the ecclesiastical representation of Islam 
greets with loud cheers anything from the Greeks and Armenians. 
I heard one member make the declaration from the rostrum that he 
was an Armenian and a socialist. The priests of Islam thought 
that was possibly the greatest thing they had ever heard and the 
demonstration that followed lasted for several minutes, until the 
Speaker's voice finally lifted itself above the tumult and restored 

157 



order. Then an Arab in a long flowing gown of yellow silk and a 
turban wrapped about his head with enough white cloth to measure 
the length of his grave (as is their custom), without rising, in a 
voice that was trained on the sands of the desert, desired of the 
Speaker an explanation for the disorder, which was about as easy 
to answer as the average question an Oriental will ask one. 

The total result of the day was that no business whatever was 
transacted, and the total result up to this time is about the same 
thing, except that they are learning that onl}- one, not three hun- 
dred, is supposed to speak at one and the same time. 

It is ver\' clear where the power lies. The army that sits upon 
the hills holds the power in its hands and the key to the situation. 
\Miat they do not wish may just as well not be introduced into 
the chamber. 

We are never certain what is going to happen. The present 
Sultan is just what thirt}- years imprisonment in luxur}- ought to 
make a man — fat, genial, and incapable, ^^'ith his death and the 
accession of Yufuz Izzedin, another stor}- will be told. Anyone who 
has seen his eye knows that he is not preparing to submit to the 
dictates of a group of men who have, to his mind, usurped the 
rights of an age-old monarchy with absolute rights over the hfe, 
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness of even die greatest of its 
subjects. 

In the opinion of those who have made a life-long study of con- 
ditions here, the affair is only just begun. 

I should like to tell of visits made to the Imperial Palaces of 
Beylerbey and Yildiz (after the abdication of Abdul Hamid of 
course) and of some of the pecidiarities that monarch indidged in, — 
for example, he had his favorite horse and his favorite dogs stuffed, 
when they saw fit to die. and set up in his natural histor\- museum, 
where the dogs still grin and attempt to wag their tails in welcome — 
but I shall be making demands upon 5-our time. 

There is no sign of a suffragette movement as yet. although 
Pierre Loti has it that Turkish ladies are all "Disenchanted." A 
pasha can still repeat the old. old ston.-, when addressing his con- 
tingent of wives, "you are the onh* girls I ever loved." There is a 
lot of bosh written about them from time to time which reaches 
here from America and France and England which the Turks see 
and laugh at. The}- don't have enough of that "no-breakfast" 
look about them. yet. to make it all look true. I think the ladies 
have got enough sense to know that they are not cut out for Parlia- 
mentarv- efforts and they content themselves with adorning their own 
homes where, of a summer's evening, they may be seen picking 
wisteria blossoms off an ancient ^-ine-clad wall and wreathing with 
flowers and smiles the favorite of their heart as he comes home from 
the Sultan's palace with his sword clanking at his side. It is still 
as it must have been in "ye olden days."' I guess these Eastern cus- 
toms won't change over night. 

158 



It would be slightly out of place, being a member of the teaching 
corps, for me to relate the effectiveness of the work of Robert Col- 
lege on the minds of the boys of the East, but may I say from the 
point of view of an observer for the time being, that is has impar- 
tially put before them the merits of the governments, religions, laws, 
and literatures of the world and has undoubtedly influenced the 
course of events here in the East. Certainly the College was not 
entirely responsible for the revolution and the advent of constitu- 
tional government. Render unto France and the universities of 
England and Germany the credit due them, but in all fairness, it 
is only just to say that this institution founded under American 
auspices and inspired by American educators and supported by 
American money has profoundly affected the ideas of the Near- 
East and raised up a class of discriminating intelligences who know 
good from bad and have taken a stride in favor of what the 
western world has called enlightenment and advancement. Its 
work is interesting and inspiring and I am glad to be teaching these 
boys, who have possibly as much to give as to get — to go with 
them along the common path to progress. 

I have in some of my classes, Turks, Bulgarians, Armenians, 
Persians, Roumanians, and Greeks, from almost every island in the 
Aegean Sea and most of the countries bordering on the Black Sea, the 
Aegean, and the Mediterranean. 

When some of the boys come here, they do not even speak to the 
other nationalties. For instance, one boy from Albania told me that 
his father and all his brothers had been killed in border fights in 
Albania by the men of one of the nationalties represented here and 
that he had been taught to look upon them as men he must some 
day kill himself. You may imagine what the college does for 
order and international peace when within a year that same boy will 
be playing football or singing under the trees of the campus with 
the same boys he had looked upon in the beginning as his deadliest 
enemies. 

The college is possibly the most cosmopolitan place in the East — 
and does more to bring about an understanding between the various 
parties in this complicated Near-Eastern tangle than any other 
force operating in the same field. When it is remembered that Bul- 
garia trained some of her cabinet ministers here its influence in poli- 
tics will be seen. 

During last Easter vacation, in Eski-Chehir, the city in Asia 
Minor from which most of the meerschaum of the world comes, 
I found a particularly encouraging instance of the influence of the 
college. I met a graduate there who, with the management of a 
meerschaum factory on his hands, found time to start a school for 
two hundred Armenians. He told me that he owed it to the young- 
sters of that city to give them something of what he got at Robert 
College. 

159 



The school brass-band was called out for the afternoon and 
whether to show the strength of their wind apparatus or their 
appreciation of the young graduate's work for them, they almost 
blew the roof off the building and the soimders off our ear-drums, 
but it loudly spoke for the man's work there. 

When I feel that perhaps nothing is being accomplished, the 
sound of that brass band comes back and doubts are drowned in that 
noisy recollection. 

At the present moment, beyond the trees of this Turkish garden, 
far below the wall, the shining blue Bosphorus is ruiming toward the 
Mediterranean and on its beautiful expanse sail the innumerable 
w^hite-craft of the Turks. And in that spacious harbor just beyond, 
under the shadow of St. Sophia and the leaded domes of ancient 
mosques ride at anchor the ships of ever}- nation of the earth. I 
know that to-night the lamps of the feast of Ram.azan will be hung 
in the tall minarets of Stamboul and that the muezzins will call out 
in their high clear voices that "There is no God but Allah and 
Mohammed is his prophet." I know that the beaut}- of it all will 
come over my spirit and leave there the peace and the silence of 
the ages. But for one brief night, I should like once again to walk 
about the dear old elms and hear the voices that we knew for four 
years together calling out across the spaces of Princeton the 
familiar names — the names that often as I ride along the shores of 
the Black Sea come to me and bring back r«-o of the finest things the 
world gives a man, the love of his friends and of his Alma mater. 

Of this you may wish to clip off a paragraph or two or several per- 
haps. Don't hesitate to use the sheers. 

.\nd give my best regards to all you see. 

I enjoyed your letter immensely and feel that my inability to write 
letters is a misfortune. 

Write soon again, Gus. and forgive the thoughtful silence of 

Your sincere friend, 

George ]\I. Duff. 

Princeton, X. J.. Oct. 31. 1910. 
My De-\r Breck: 

It is hard to boil down the experience of three years to the compass 
of a letter but I shall tr}- to do it. As you know I have been teach- 
ing in the Syrian Protestant College, of Beirut. Syria, a school whose 
purpose is to give a Christian higher education to the youth of 
Syria and surrounding countries. The students are as cosmopolitan 
a crowd as one could well choose and speak over twent}- distinct 
languages though all speak English and most speak Arabic and 
French besides. Their first names var}- from classical sounding ones 
like ^liltiades. Xenophon and Plato to rather difficult ones such as 
Ahdur-Rahman and Muhiud-Din. and the last names are worse! 
The college is quite like an American college of 800 or 900 students 

160 



1 



in many ways. We have plenty of athletics: baseball, football 
(soccer), cricket, tennis, basketball, gymnasium, track and swimming 
for the students and all these and golf and pink teas for the teachers. 

The college— it is really a university except in name — has a 
Medical School, Nurses' Training School, School of Pharmacy, 
School of Commerce, School of Dentistry, Collegiate Department 
and Preparatory Department and gives thorough courses along all 
these lines. It is not co-ed., excepting the Nurses' Training School. 

But enough of this — I suppose you want a letter rather than a 
college catalog. 

We teachers generally spend the vacations in travel and I have 
had good visits to Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Jericho, Nazareth, Damascus, 
Aleppo, Cairo, Alexandria, Smyrna and Constantinople, as well as 
several of the more commonly visited cities of Europe. 

My most pleasant memories, however, concern little trips to 
various parts of Lebanon where we came into close contact with 
the people and lived quite like them. 

I have had very good meals at hotels where, however, we had no 
plates, forks, spoons, knives, glasses or napkins and still got along 
beautifully. The people of the country cook very edible dishes 
but, needless to say, very different from ours. 

Yes, there were deprivations too. We had to do without soda 
water, pumpkin pies, peanuts and beefsteak, but we had other things 
equally as good. 

I am sincerely hoping to be able to spend most of my life in 
Syria as I love the people, I like the language, the food, the climate 
and most of the customs, and there are great opportunities for 
Christian service on every hand. 

Sincerely, 

Abe Fowler. 
Dear Fellows: 

Since the Princeton launch Andrew J. McCosh has gone up to 
Labrador, Dr. Grenfell and his mission to the deep-sea-fishermen 
of that coast is more than ever a topic of interest to us all. So 
much has been written about the Doctor and his two thousand 
mile parish that I don't want to tell an old story over again — let 
me only say that Dr. van Dyke was right when he described Dr. 
Grenfell as the ''real thing." Nineteen years ago the Doctor came 
over from England to Labrador when there wasn't a medical man 
anywhere along all that coast. He began his work single handed, 
and ever since he has labored there in the attempt to relieve human 
pain, until now he has succeeded in establishing four hospitals 
with permanent corps of doctors and nurses, at various points on 
the coast, and covers all intervening territory by means of his hospi- 
tal steamer, and smaller launches such as the McCosh. In 1909 
at the one hospital of St. Anthony 1909 cases of sickness were 
treated. Besides this medical work the Doctor has started and 

161 



keeps going a great lot of other things through which he tries to 
earn- his simple message of Christian brotherhood. Perhaps my 
experience of a summer ago on the Straits of Belle Isle will be of 
interest as showing this., and giving a summer-view of the people 
and count!-}- where doctor Grenfell works. 

It was the second of July, shivering cold with a rain out of a 
grey mist, and when the Labrador mail boat put into Brig Bay 
they told us that Forteau was blocked by an ice jam five miles 
wide. But when we arrived at Flower's Cove on the Xewfoimd- 
land shore we fotmd that Dr. Gr en fell's steamer, the Strathcona, 
had left there an hour ago in the attempt to cross the Straits to 
Labrador. The captain of our mail boat didn't want to be outdone, 
and so he followed after, and that afternoon in spite of the fog and 
mist our little steamer sighted the Labrador coast, wormed north- 
ward through the bergs, skirted the edge of a great ice floe, and 
so brought us into Forteau Bay. 

Simday was the Fourth of Jtdy and as Dr. Grenfell had put me 
in charge of a little Church of England Chapel, where I was to 
hold senice and preach throughout the summer, I found myself 
in the position of having to pray for the King of England and all 
the Royal Family on our "great and glorious Fourth." However we 
had an -\merican celebration the next day when with my chum from 
WilHams College, we rowed out in the bay to an iceberg, got on 
board, shot ott our revolvers, and thought of the people sweltering 
at home. Then we went fishing on an island stream, and were most 
eaten up by mosquitoes. The sun was quite warm. Toward evening 
we returned to the bay, with the sea beyond, and its icebergs glitter- 
ing white and iridescent with green and blue, like fallen fragments of 
cloud and sk\-. 

On week days there was much to be done to the mission cottage, 
where we lived. Dr. Grenfell had recently built it as a home for 
the district nurse who lives there the year around, ministering to 
the sick. "Sister" Bailey is known all along the coast. One time 
last winter she travelled continuously for nine hours, never mo^'ing 
from her "komatic box," which the dogs pulled over the snow — but 
that is a another storj-. We undertook the less romantic work of 
finishing the cottage. We papered it inside, and painted it out, 
and cleared the front yard of rocks. 

One afternoon we held a picnic for the children: introducing 
races, wresthng, and tug-of-war. It was like most other picnics, 
except that in Labrador everyone wanted a prize. "Me, too," said 
the losers, and it was quite impossible to disappoint so many httle 
hopeful faces ; so we struck a balance between mercy and justice, by 
giving the winners their prize first. It was fortunate we had a 
supply. Then as a grand finale and a brand new sensation we set 
oflt a hot air balloon which mv chum had brought down from the 
"States." 

162 



I 



After this we definitely entered the show business. The rush of 
the fishing season was over, and the kerosene launch, which Dr. 
Grenfell had promised, arrived at last. Our plan was to cruise 
up and down the adjacent coast, and across the straits along the 
Newfoundland shore, giving talks on tuberculosis; and we had 
also conceived the idea of taking along a phonograph, magic lan- 
tern, and some chemical experiments, to get out the crowd. Men, 
women, children and babies came. , Sometimes I think it was 
almost as much of a circus from our point of view as from theirs ; 
though our excitement was more often in steering our twenty-nine- 
foot launch through the south-west seas that at times ran high in the 
straits. One day the engine broke down five times off a lea shore; 
but as often it was persuaded to start again, and finally the real 
cause of the trouble was located and fixed, so that the day follow- 
ing we ran thirty miles, and gave a show to seventy people in the 
evening. Once in a while it blew so hard that we'd have to stay 
in port all day, and there were other delays and accidents; but 
during the last three weeks sixteen tuberculosis shows were given 
to about nine hundred and twenty-five people, over a distance 
travelled of two hundred and forty miles. Which ended the sum- 
mer.
